ComEd EV Rebate Programs
This program is only accepting new applications for eligible customers based on equity criteria. To find out if you are eligible, check Program Updates here.
For a rebate to be issued, the contractor that completed the installation work must have had its Electric Vehicle Charging Station Installer Certification from the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) prior to the installation date, and that certification must be active.
Illinois EPA EV Rebate Program
The current number of EV Rebate Program applications that have been received by the Illinois EPA has surpassed the amount of available Fiscal Year 2025 funding appropriated by the General Assembly. Please visit the Illinois EPA Electric Vehicle Rebate website for more information.
EV Charging Infrastructure Funding and Incentives
The Illinois EPA is also directed to provide funding, consistent with Illinois Commerce Commission-approved Beneficial Electrification Plans, to public and private organizations and companies to install and maintain Level 2 or Level 3 charging stations. Up to 80% of the cost of the installation of charging stations may be funded. Additional awards may incentivize charging infrastructure in eligible communities. Applications will be posted to this page when available. See the Charging Infrastructure Grant Program, 35 Ill. Adm. Code 285, for program rules.
Additionally, DuPage County has a Sustainability Resources page detailing various incentives for solar installations, commercial PACE programs, EV incentives and comparison tools, along with alternative fuel station locator maps and much more!
