Aurora is the second-largest city in Illinois with over 180,000 residents and a diverse economy spanning healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and a growing technology sector. Located at the junction of the Fox River and Interstate 88, Aurora serves as the western anchor of the Chicago metropolitan area and home to major employers including Rush Copley Medical Center, Hollywood Casino Aurora, and the Chicago Premium Outlets. ComEd serves Aurora and the entire Fox Valley corridor with electricity. Aurora's significant Latino population and economic diversity mean a meaningful portion of the city's households may qualify for ComEd's income-qualified Select Customer rebate of up to $2,500, which remains open as of mid-2026 even as the standard base rebate program has been exhausted for the year.
Aurora's Fox River location and its role as the gateway to Illinois's Fox Valley communities gives it a distinct geographic and economic identity separate from the more affluent suburbs to its east. The city's diversity is one of its greatest strengths and also means a higher proportion of residents may qualify for income-qualified utility rebate programs that provide larger rebates than standard customer programs. Aurora's Metra commuter rail connections to downtown Chicago and the growing technology employment along I-88 have created a commuter population for whom reliable home EV charging is practically important for the daily Chicago connection.
