Rebates

Madison Gas & Electric's Charge Ahead program provides customers with an incentive for charging primarily during off-peak hours. Customers participating in the program receive a credit of $8 per month during the summer and $4 per month during other months if they charge at least 80% during off-peak hours. The program does not require the customer to have their own charging station.

Administered by the Center for Sustainable Energy (CSE), Vermont offers a rebate to residential consumers wanting to replace their old internal combustion engine vehicles with a new or used plug-in EV. The incentive is available on a first-come, first-served basis based on funding availability, and certain requirements are waived for flood-damaged vehicles.
