BGE Rebates for Residential EV Chargers
Last updated: February 19, 2026
People who purchase electric cars often decide to install electric vehicle charging stations, or EV chargers, in their homes. While there are approximately 5,290 public chargers available in Maryland, 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.
Does BGE offer rebates for installing an EV Charger at my home?
