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.
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.
The EVSE Rebate Program is unique and separate from previous funding opportunities, established by legislation under the Clean Cars Act of 2017. As such, funding mechanisms established under previous programs will not impact this new program. EVSE equipment or installation costs incurred prior to July 1, 2017 along with applications submitted to previous funding programs, are ineligible for funding under the EVSE Rebate Program.
Rebates are calculated by multiplying the purchase and installation price of your EVSE by 40% and are capped at the following amounts:
- Residential: 40% up to $700
- Commercial: 40% up to $4,000
There are a host of other benefits including excise tax credits, HOC privileges, and emissions testing exemptions which you can read more about here.

DNREC Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Rebate Program
Supporting the Delaware Clean Vehicle Rebate Program, this offers rebates on level 2 electric vehicle charging equipment for commercial public access, workplace, and fleet stations. It also benefits multifamily commercial, government, or nonprofit stations.
Public access stations are open to the public, such as retail centers, hospitals, schools and universities, parking garages, downtown areas, etc.
Workplace stations are provided by employers in a non-residential place of business.
Fleet stations are limited to fleet vehicles and are not open to the public.
Multifamily stations are used by properties with four or more residential units, like condos, townhomes, or apartments.
Commercial public access, workplace, and fleet stations can get a rebate of up to 75% of the cost up to $3,500 for a single port station and $7,000 for a dual port station. For multi-family dwellings with four or more units, the rebate is up to 90%.
District of Columbia Incentives
With the Alternative Fuel Vehicle (AFV) Conversion and Infrastructure Tax Credit, businesses and individuals in the Washington, D.C. area may receive an income tax credit of up to 50% of the costs of equipment and labor for converting qualified AFVs, up to $19,000 per vehicle.
A tax credit is also available for the sum of 50% of the equipment and labor costs of the purchase and installation of AFV infrastructure, up to $1,000 per residential EV charging station and $10,000 per public station.
Qualified PEVs may be eligible for the Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) Title Excise Tax Exemption. This means that drivers are exempt from the excise tax imposed on their original certificate of title in Washington, D.C.
According to the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Exemption from Driving Restrictions, drivers of certified clean fuel vehicles that are part of a fleet do not need to adhere to time-of-day and day-of-week driving restrictions. This does not apply to High-Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lane restrictions in the District of Columbia.

Spectacular Service
The people over at Clinton Electric really do a wonderful job of keeping their customers happy. I had them come by to set something up for me and the guy they sent, Chris I believe his name was, was just an absolute gem. He did a great job with installing what I needed done, and when I had an issue a couple weeks later he was right back out to my home to fix it. These guys are just spectacular and Chris just does such a wonderful job, I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone and everyone!
Amazing to Work With
Clinton Electric Co. were amazing to work with. I used their services twice because I had to have lights and extensions installed in my home. They were very good when I called; extremely prompt, their scheduling was prompt. The first time I had issues and they couldn't find the problem, but the service person who came went above and beyond and didn't stop his work until he found it, even though I told him it was okay - this was on Christmas Day exactly! I asked for him the second time around because he was so good. All in all excellent service and communication, these guys really care about the work that they do and the quality of their service is top notch. I would recommend them to anyone who needs a reliable electrician.
Really Great Prices
I recently had the folks over at Clinton Electric come over to fix some stuff for me and I am very happy with the results. They were really easy to schedule an appointment with which was a big relief for me. I really appreciated that they called prior to coming to give me a heads up of when they were coming and it was within the time slot I was assigned so that was good. When they came they did a really great job and now my electrical problems are no more! Their prices are really great and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is in need of a high quality electrician!
