Maryland EV charger rebates are programs that help offset the cost of a home EV charger, available through the state’s EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) rebate program run by the Maryland Energy Administration, and through utility programs such as BGE and Pepco. Because these programs have limited funding that opens and closes and amounts that change, you should confirm the current rebate and availability with the official source before relying on it. Understanding the available rebates helps Maryland homeowners reduce the cost of installing EV charging.

Here is what to know about the Maryland EV charger rebate.

EV charger rebate programs have limited funding and amounts that change, with programs opening and closing, so always confirm current availability and amounts with the official source before relying on them.

Two main sources: the state and utilities

EV charger rebates in Maryland come from two main sources:

• The state EVSE rebate program, run by the Maryland Energy Administration (MEA), which offers rebates toward EV charging equipment
• Utility programs, such as BGE’s and Pepco’s EVsmart offerings, which provide rebates toward a residential Level 2 charger

A homeowner may be able to use a utility rebate, and separately consider the state program, depending on current availability and eligibility. Checking both sources is worthwhile.

The Maryland Energy Administration EVSE rebate

The Maryland Energy Administration offers an EVSE rebate program that provides rebates toward the cost of EV charging equipment for residential (and other) applicants. This program operates on annual funding, and it has opened and closed as funds are allocated and used up each program year. The rebate amount and the program’s current status depend on the funding cycle, so you must check the MEA’s EVSE program page for the current amount and whether applications are open. Do not assume funding is available without confirming.

Utility charger rebates

Maryland utilities offer their own charger rebates through EVsmart programs:

• BGE offers a rebate toward a residential Level 2 charger
• Pepco offers a rebate toward an eligible Level 2 smart charger (for example, a set amount after you buy and install a qualifying charger)

These utility rebates have their own amounts, eligibility requirements (such as being a residential customer of that utility and installing a qualifying charger), and terms, which can change. Confirm the current rebate with your utility.

How to claim a rebate

To pursue a Maryland EV charger rebate:

• Check current availability and amounts at the MEA EVSE program page and with your utility (BGE or Pepco)
• Confirm eligibility requirements, such as the charger type and being a customer
• Buy and install a qualifying charger, often a Level 2 smart charger, with a licensed electrician
• Submit the required documentation per the program’s process
• Keep records of the purchase and installation.

A licensed electrician installs the charger properly, while you apply to the program for the rebate.
