EV charger rebates in Fayetteville and the Sandhills
5 programs we track pay toward a Level 2 EV charger in the Fayetteville area: 5 from local power companies. The largest listed amount is up to $1,117, from Duke Energy EV Charger Prep Credit. A power company rebate only goes to that company's own customers, so your address decides which of these you can use.
A one-time credit of up to $1,117 per charger toward getting your home ready for a Level 2 charger. Duke's page lists two things as covered: the conduit, wiring and outlets that feed the charger, and panel upgrades and breaker installation. You get your qualifying cost or the cap, whichever is less.
Not covered: the charger itself, mounting and setting it up, and permits and fees.
One credit per EV registered to your address.
If you hire your own electrical contractor, send Duke the paid invoice within four months of the work.
Duke's page does not list the paperwork. The program's 2022 terms asked for itemized invoices, a copy of the approved permit and proof the EV is registered to you.
In rare cases Duke's own line to the house needs an upgrade as well. That cost is not covered.
How to claim itTwo ways. Hire your own electrical contractor, then send Duke the paid invoice for a check. Or let Duke help you choose a contractor, who takes the credit off the bill.
A one-time credit toward the electrical work behind Level 2 or fast chargers at a workplace, business, apartment community, transit station or school. Duke's chart lists these maximums: public Level 2 up to $930, workplace Level 2 up to $700, fleet Level 2 up to $855, apartment Level 2 up to $1,550, apartment fast charger up to $4,476, public fast charger at 50 kW up to $2,686, school bus fast charger at 50 kW up to $15,009 and transit bus fast charger at 50 kW up to $27,705. The amount depends on the charger type, the total kW and whether Duke has to upgrade the service.
Not covered: permitting, installing the charger and the charging equipment itself.
Apply within 120 days of the final invoice or the approved permit. The work must have been done after May 19, 2022.
Planning more than 50 kW of chargers, or a fast charger over 50 kW? Duke asks for a form and gives you an estimate.
If Duke has to extend or upgrade its lines you may owe a construction contribution, and the credit cannot be used for it. Call Duke early.
How to claim itAfter the work is done, apply online with the approved permit, a paid itemized invoice from your electrical contractor and a schematic diagram of the installation. Duke mails a check.
