People who purchase electric cars often decide to install electric vehicle charging stations, or EV chargers, in their homes. While there are approximately 1,220 public chargers available in Iowa, nothing can beat the convenience of plugging in your car in your garage, so it's ready to go when you leave the house. Unfortunately, these chargers can be pricey, though.
Luckily, across the US, there are rebates, grants, and incentives that might be available to help reduce your overall cost for installing an EV charger in your home.
Alliant Energy IA used to have a rebate program for installing a charger for an electric vehicle in a residential application, but that program has been discontinued.
The Alliant Energy IA rebate program covers Level 2 EV chargers. A Level 2 EV charger lets you charge up your electric vehicle much around five times faster. These chargers use 240V, or the type of electrical outlet you see for an electric dryer or stovetop. They add between 12 and 60 miles to your battery each hour.

The cost of an EV charger can vary depending on the specific type you want to purchase. They usually range from $300 - $1,000. It's important to remember that Level 2 and Level 3 chargers typically require professional installation, which often costs more than the charger itself.
Some of these programs will only provide rebates for specific make and models of chargers. Make sure to read all the program documentation before making any commitment to purchasing a charger.
