Customers who can demonstrate that they drive over 25,300 miles annually can qualify for another $250 incentive – or $500 total – on top of other BED incentives, as noted above.
Superusers may also receive an additional $250 per eligible Level 2 EVSE, provided they also agree to enroll in BED’s EV rate tariff. For non-LMI customers, incentives will be capped at 75 percent of installed costs, including the cost of electric panel upgrades (if necessary). Income eligible customers (i.e. LMI customers) will receive an additional $1,000 all-electric vehicle incentive, and $500 EVSE incentive. These customers will receive 100 percent of installed costs, including the cost of electric panel upgrades (if necessary).
Proof of eligibility will include self-certification of having travelled more than 17,700 miles or 25,300 during the most recent 12 month period in their personal internal combustion engine vehicle.
