Increase your property's value + Get up to $25,000 in Rebates!

The number of electric vehicle (EV) drivers is growing, and 75% of all EVs are charged at home. This means more tenants will start requesting EV charging as an amenity. If you're a property manager or owner, BGE's EVsmart Program can help you get ahead of the curve by guiding you through the process of installing EV chargers at your property.

What's in it for you

BGE offers a 50% rebate on the cost of equipment, warranty and installation for eligible Level 2 chargers. You can receive up to $5,000 per charging port. BGE will also rebate 50% of the cost of eligible direct current fast charging (DCFC) equipment and installation up to $15,000. Property managements and owners can get a maximum of $25,000 in rebates* for each of their properties.

You may also receive additional savings through state and federal rebates and incentives. For more information, visit the DOE website or MEA website.

*Rebates are limited and available while supplies last.
