Southern California Edison’s (SCE) New Construction Rebate (NCR) is a rebate program targeting multi-family residential developers to install electric vehicle (EV) chargers to allow tenants to charge their EVs. The program offers a rebate to eligible participants, to offset some or all the cost of buying and installing approved EV charging stations.
The rebate covers expenses that go beyond California’s CALGreen code1. This may include funding for the purchase and installation of approved charging stations or the infrastructure costs for the creation of additional EV-capable or EV Ready parking spaces that goes beyond code requirements. While other SCE programs help multi-family developments in need of infrastructure updates, this rebate program is focused exclusively on incentivizing the installation of EV charging stations where developments have been mandated to install EV capable spaces under the CALGreen code.
This program provides a great opportunity for architects and developers of new multi-family residential projects located in SCE’s service area that have two or more units and are currently in development (planning, design, or construction phase) or have completed and received a certificate of occupancy after 01/01/2017. EV Charging stations must not be installed as SCE approval is required prior to installation.
