Baltimore-Area Multifamily Properties are Eligible for a $30K Grant to Install EV Chargers

01/04/2024

As of January 2024, Baltimore Gas & Electric (BGE) extended their “Commercial Customer Charger Rebate” program, which provides 50% (up to $5K per Level 2) in rebates up to $30K for installing EV charging at multifamily properties. But the funding won’t last forever – if interested in learning more and taking advantage of this funding, get in touch with us.

Program Summary & Incentive Amounts

BGE is looking to help multifamily property owners get ready for the growing demand in electric vehicles by offering up to $30K in rebates for each property that installs EV charging:

The total rebate caps at $30,000 (so 6 Level 2 chargers or 2 DCFC chargers) for each commercial property you own within BGE’s service area.
