The Charge Ready Direct Current Fast Charging (DCFC)1 program assists business and property owners with deploying the infrastructure and equipment necessary to support electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at their publicly accessible, short dwell time locations. The program was designed to support the adoption of electric vehicles by providing drivers with locations to quickly charge their EVs. 

The DCFC program is intended to cover the costs of the utilityside infrastructure and a portion of the costs of the customer-side infrastructure and charging equipment. The rebate amounts paid to qualifying customers for both the customer-side infrastructure and charging equipment will not exceed the customer’s actual costs. The customer will be fully responsible for facilitating the permitting and installation of the customer-side of the meter infrastructure.

• The rebate program offers eligible participants a rebate of up to $40,200 per port (depending on the disadvantaged community2 and Fortune 1000 status, see Rebate Summary Table) to help offset the costs associated with purchasing and installing a minimum of two DCFC charging stations. 
• SCE covers the cost of installing utility-side infrastructure. 
• The customer-side infrastructure rebate offsets some of your cost for the customer-side infrastructure installation.
•  DCFC charging stations could attract foot traffic, potentially bringing visitors to your business.
