Questions and answers

What if I already have EV charging equipment?

Any existing charging equipment does not qualify. If you want to add charging equipment, start your application for the pilot program. Our team will work with you for the best enrollment experience.

Does this program set up a new, EV-specific rate for commercial customers?

No. You continue to pay for electricity through our existing electric rates. Depending upon the usage of the EV charging equipment, you may qualify for a different electric rate in the future. If your EV charging is installed as a part of a new service, the new service may have a different electric rate than what the rest of your business uses.

How is the amount of my allowance calculated?

We will work with you to determine the allowance you may be eligible for.

Do you offer rebates for purchasing electric vehicles?

No. This pilot program assists customers with costs associated with installing EV charging equipment. Check these resources for available electric vehicle incentives: www.goelectricdrive.org and https://wicleancities.org/news-events/pres-releases/.

Do you offer rebates to help pay for the chargers?

No. Our program is designed to assist business customers with the costs for utility upgrades and customer electrical work. Customers have the option to source their chargers through the utility if needed. Customers who use EV chargers through our program may prepay for the chargers and installation or bundle the costs over time.
