⚠️ Important: As of April 2026, the Rocky Mountain Power residential EV charger rebate program is paused and under review. Rebates for home EV chargers are currently unavailable from RMP. This may change. Check directly with Rocky Mountain Power for current status before planning around this rebate.
The good news: the federal 30% tax credit of up to $1,000 remains fully available for Salt Lake City homeowners through June 30, 2026. Rocky Mountain Power also offers a TOU rate with lower overnight charging costs. Commercial and business customers can still access RMP rebates covering 75% of Level 2 installation costs. This guide covers every incentive still available in Utah right now.
Rocky Mountain Power serves Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, and most of Utah with electricity from a generation mix dominated by hydroelectric, wind, and natural gas. In past years RMP offered a residential rebate of up to $200 for qualifying Level 2 EV charger installations. As of April 2026 that program is paused and under review according to confirmed reports from multiple Utah EV incentive tracking sources. The program may be reinstated but as of the date of this writing Utah homeowners cannot count on the RMP rebate.
This is genuinely disappointing for Utah homeowners and worth being honest about. However the incentive picture is not as bleak as the paused rebate might suggest. The federal 30 percent Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit covering up to $1,000 of installation costs is still fully available and expires June 30, 2026. For a typical Salt Lake City installation costing $1,400 the federal credit alone saves $420. Rocky Mountain Power also offers a time-of-use rate with lower overnight electricity costs that reduces ongoing EV charging expenses.
Even without the RMP rebate, the federal 30% credit significantly reduces your installation cost
While the residential rebate is paused, Rocky Mountain Power maintains robust commercial EV charging incentives. Business customers, non-profits, municipalities, and multifamily property owners can receive rebates of up to $1,000 per Level 2 AC port covering 75 percent of total charger and installation costs. For multi-port projects the rebate rises to $1,500 per port. DC fast charger installations can receive up to $30,000 per unit at 75 percent of costs.
For apartment building owners, office complexes, and parking operators in Salt Lake City these commercial rebates make Rocky Mountain Power territory one of the better markets in the Intermountain West for commercial EV charging investment. See our apartment EV charging guide and office EV charging guide for details on the commercial opportunity in Utah.
Salt Lake City has a complicated EV story. On one hand Utah is geographically advantageous for EV ownership with compact city layouts, relatively short commuting distances, and a growing number of tech and government workers who are strong EV adopters. On the other hand Utah charges higher vehicle registration fees for EVs than for gasoline vehicles and the residential rebate situation is currently uncertain.
The air quality argument for EVs in Salt Lake City is particularly compelling. Salt Lake Valley's geography creates severe temperature inversions during winter months that trap vehicle emissions and create air quality emergencies that regularly rank among the worst in the United States. During these winter inversion events Salt Lake City's air quality is genuinely unhealthy. EV adoption reduces tailpipe emissions in the valley where they most harm residents, making the environmental case for home EV charger installation stronger in Salt Lake City than in most US cities.
The federal credit expires June 30, 2026. Act before then to maximize your savings.
