As a business owner, having a Level 2 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), commonly called "charging station," at your business can help increase the convenience and affordability of driving electric for your employees and customers. We want to help increase the availability of EV charging infrastructure in our community through business and workplace charging.  EWEB's $1,000 Clean Charge Rebate for commercial customers can help offset the purchase and installation cost of a qualified Level 2 charging station. 

Qualifications

• Applicant must be the owner of the property and/or a current EWEB commercial electric customer.
• The EVSE must be installed at the applicant's address and must be at a commercial, workplace, fleet or public location.
• The $1,000 rebate applies to each port of a multiple port charger, if each user is able to charge simultaneously at full capacity.  If charging capacity is reduced when multiple ports are in use, the additional rebate does not apply per port.
• EVSE must be Level 2 (208/240V, 30 Amp minimum), equipped with the SAE J1772 standard connector plug. 
• EVSE must be Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Inc. listed.  Learn about UL listed EVSE units.
• The installation of the EVSE must be permitted, inspected and approved in compliance with the National Electric Code along with local, county and state requirements.  It is the customer's responsibility to ensure the installation is done in compliance with applicable codes. For safety reasons, we recommend that a licensed electrician perform the installation.
• EVSE that are resold, rebuilt, received from warranty insurance claims or won as a prize are not eligible for rebates under this program.
• It is recommended to reserve spaces for EV only and to set up signs indicating that the space is for "EV Charging Only."

Required documents

• Customer Solutions Commercial Program Application.
• Copies of the invoice for the qualifying EVSE Level 2 unit and installation work.
• Submit your application within 120 days from the date of the EVSE purchase and installation.

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality's Oregon Clean Vehicle and Charge Ahead Rebate programs can save Oregonians up to $5,000 on the purchase or lease of a qualifying electric vehicle. All Oregonians can receive up to $2,500 for the purchase or lease of a qualifying new EV. Low- and moderate-income Oregonians can save an additional $2,500 on qualifying new or used EVs. Learn more and download an application on DEQ's website.

If you are purchasing or leasing your car from a dealer, you may be able to receive your rebate at the time of purchase. DEQ has developed an interactive map to locate dealerships with this arrangement in place.

The federal government's Zero Emission Vehicle Incentive Program means each automaker's eligible plug-in vehicles can receive a tax credit of up to $7,500 (based on vehicle battery size) until 200,000 eligible vehicles per manufacturer are registered in the U.S. After this point, the credit for that particular vehicle will be reduced and phased out over time.

As of April 2019, Tesla, Cadillac, and Chevrolet have reached 200,000 sales, so models now have a reduced tax credit value.
