Electric Vehicle Rebates
United Power members can take advantage of additional EV wiring rebate dollars thanks to a grant from the State of Colorado’s Community Access Enterprise (CAE) fund. The grant funds the EV Home Charge program, which provides two additional rebates for United Power members to offset the costs of charging an EV at home.
United Power members can access new rebate options for EV make-ready wiring and a separate rebate to cover associated electrical panel upgrades to add an EV home charger. Members who enroll in United EV, the cooperative’s at-home EV charging program, also qualify for a larger rebate amount.
EV Home Charge rebates from the CAE are limited to funds availability.
EV Make-Ready Wiring Rebates
Rebate is for the invoiced cost of a licensed electrician to install wiring and panel upgrades for a NEMA 14-50 outlet for a Level 2 EV charger.

If you install an EV charger for your electric car in your home, you may want to take advantage of the federal tax credit. The Federal 30C Tax Credit was renewed as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022. It provides a valuable incentive for installing EV charging-related hardware.
The federal tax credit covers 30% of an EV charging station, necessary equipment and installation costs. For residential installations, the IRS caps the tax credit at $1,000.
