Rebates for Residents, Governments & Businesses in Maryland

Clinton Electric Company is dedicated to keeping this page updated with the latest rebates and other programs that may benefit our customers. Please contact us at (410) 449-7292 with any questions about how these programs affect you.

All-electric, plug-in hybrid, and fuel cell electric vehicles purchased new in 2023 or after may be eligible for a federal income tax credit of up to $7,500.

The availability of the credit will depend on several factors, including the vehicle’s MSRP, its final assembly location, battery component and/or critical minerals sourcing, and your modified adjusted gross income (AGI).

In accordance with new IRS regulations, beginning January 1, 2024, Clean Vehicle Tax Credits must be initiated and approved at the time of sale.

Buyers are advised to obtain a copy of the IRS’s confirmation that a “time-of-sale” report was submitted successfully by the dealer.

FY 2024 MEA EVSE Rebate Program

The Maryland Energy Administration (MEA) is working with residents to expand the state’s growing electric vehicle recharging infrastructure through the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Rebate Program.

Through the program, residents, governments, and businesses can acquire a state rebate for purchasing or installing an electric vehicle charging station, known as Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). In order to receive these rebates, eligible participants must apply with MEA, which will issue rebates on a first-come, first-served basis.

The EVSE Rebate Program is renewed annually with a fixed budget, and provides funding assistance for costs incurred while acquiring or installing qualified electric vehicle supply equipment. Applications must be received by MEA within 6 months of the date the equipment or install expenses were incurred.

Eligible applicants are encouraged to apply even after funding has been exhausted to hold their place in line when the program is renewed for a new fiscal year.

Rebates are calculated by multiplying the purchase and installation price of your EVSE by 50% and are capped at the following amounts:

  • Residential: 50% up to $700
  • Commercial: 50% up to $4,000

Send an email to evse.mea@maryland.gov indicating your desire to submit an EVSE Rebate application.  MEA staff will guide you through the application process. You will need:

  • Application Form
  • Paid Invoice (copy) – equipment
  • Paid invoice (copy) – installation
  • Photo of installed EVSE
  • IRS W-9 Form (must match your tax docs)

There are a host of other benefits including excise tax credits, HOC privileges, and emissions testing exemptions which you can read more about here.
