EV Tax Credits

MEA EVSE Rebate Program 2.0

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.

ATTENTION: Residential rebate applicants please be advised that MEA has been and continues to experience temporary staffing shortages that are producing extended application processing times. (Check for updates here.)

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.
