LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Time is running out to take advantage of Liberty’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Rebate Program, a key initiative in the company’s commitment to advancing transportation electrification across its service area. Liberty (CalPeco Electric) LLC has been offering rebates for EV charger purchase and installation since April 2021. While the program is scheduled to sunset at the end of 2025 due to State program changes, customers are encouraged to act now while funding is still available.
“With EV adoption rapidly increasing, we’ve seen strong demand for this rebate program,” said Matt Newberry, Liberty Key Account Manager and EV charging program lead. “For residential and small business customers, this is a valuable opportunity to offset, if not cover, charger and installation costs before the program ends.”
Eligible customers can receive:
- Up to $1,500 in rebates for residential customers who own or lease a plug-in or plug-in hybrid vehicle
- Up to $2,500 for small business customers installing public-access EV chargers
The rebate covers approved smart EV chargers, installation by a licensed California contractor, and associated costs, including labor, materials, panel upgrades, and permits (if required) up to the maximum amount. As part of the program, participants must allow Liberty to collect charging data anonymously to help inform future infrastructure planning.
“If you’re thinking about going electric, don’t wait,” added Newberry. “This program could cover the full cost of your charger and much, or even all, of your installation costs. But with only months remaining in the program, the time to act is now.”
