PG&E Rebates for Residential EV Chargers
Last updated: November 21, 2025
One of the biggest hurdles new electric car buyers face is how they will they top up their electric car between drives. While California ranks #1 in the US for the number of publicly available EV Chargers, the convenience of being able to charge your electric car at home is hard to beat. These chargers can cost quite a bit 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.
