Phoenix is one of the best cities in America for EV ownership. With over 300 sunny days per year and two major utilities competing to support EV adoption, Phoenix homeowners have access to some of the most generous charger rebates in the country. APS offers a rebate of $250 on qualifying smart chargers and SRP offers a separate $250 rebate for their customers. Our certified local installers know both utility programs inside and out.

Common Questions
Phoenix EV Charger FAQ
Questions we hear from Phoenix homeowners every day.
APS customers can receive a $250 rebate when purchasing a qualifying Level 2 smart charger through the APS marketplace. SRP customers qualify for a separate $250 rebate on Level 2 chargers purchased through the SRP marketplace. Both utilities also offer the 30C commercial tax credit for business installations. Combined with the federal 30 percent residential tax credit, Phoenix homeowners can offset $500 or more of their installation cost.
Phoenix heat does not significantly affect the installation process. However, it does affect your EV battery. Extreme heat above 110 degrees Fahrenheit activates thermal management systems that can reduce charging speed and available range. Our installers can advise on charger placement to minimize heat exposure and protect both the charger and your vehicle battery.
Your utility depends on your specific address. APS serves most of central and suburban Phoenix while SRP serves the East Valley including Scottsdale, Tempe, Mesa, Chandler, and Gilbert. You can check your utility by looking at your electricity bill or entering your address on the APS or SRP websites. Your installer will confirm which utility serves your home during the site assessment.
