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.
- 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.
