Description
This program, run by the Colorado Energy Office, provides grant funding to Colorado electric cooperatives and municipal utilities to establish or expand rebate programs for residential electric panel and wiring upgrades needed for Level 2 electric vehicle (EV) charging. The initiative aims to address a major barrier to EV adoption—access to affordable at-home charging, particularly in older homes and rural communities—by reducing the cost of necessary electrical upgrades. Utilities that receive funding will offer rebates to their customers, making home EV charging more accessible and supporting Colorado's clean transportation goals.
