CHARGING YOUR EV AT HOME DOESN’T HAVE TO BE SLOW
In this rapidly-changing automobile market, we’re all learning about the benefits of Electric Vehicles (EVs)—they reduce pollution, can be powered by renewable energy, and require less maintenance. However, we’re also becoming familiar with one of their main drawbacks—charging them at home can take a long time.
It doesn’t have to be that way!
CHARGING YOUR EV AT HOME DOESN’T HAVE TO BE SLOW
In this rapidly-changing automobile market, we’re all learning about the benefits of Electric Vehicles (EVs)—they reduce pollution, can be powered by renewable energy, and require less maintenance. However, we’re also becoming familiar with one of their main drawbacks—charging them at home can take a long time.
It doesn’t have to be that way!
We have revamped and expanded our Residential EV Charging Station Rebate Program to give Burbank residents even more power and flexibility over their EV home charging experience. Installing a dedicated home charger will improve the speed and efficiency of charging your EV’s batteries. If slow home charging has been a point of frustration for you, or if you have been unwilling to purchase an EV because of worries about slow home charging, then this rebate is what you’ve been waiting for.
RESIDENTIAL EV CHARGING STATION REBATES FOR ALL BURBANK RESIDENTS
The Residential EV Charging Station Rebate Program is available to all Burbank residents, including tenants of multifamily residences such as apartments or duplexes. We want Burbank’s EV future to belong to everyone regardless of where they reside.
To find out if you are in a DAC go to bwp-currents.com/dac-map
BWP offers increased rebate amounts to residents located in a Disadvantaged Community (DAC). The California Environmental Protection Agency identifies a DAC as being the most pollution-burdened and vulnerable areas based on potential exposures to pollutants, adverse environmental conditions, socioeconomic factors, and the prevalence of certain health conditions. To find out if you live in a DAC and qualify for the increased rebate amounts, visit our Residential EV Charging Program webpage and enter your address in the interactive map.
REBATES FOR EV CHARGERS AND ELECTRIC PANEL UPGRADES
Residential customers can get up to a $1,250 rebate to help cover the costs for the charging station and an electric panel upgrade if needed. Customers living in a DAC area of Burbank can qualify for increased rebate amounts of up to $1,500 with an electric panel upgrade.
*Smart stations have Wi-Fi/network capability (with an active subscription to an EV charging network) and offer functions to optimize charging. Rebates are available for up to two chargers per household. Rebate recipients must sign up for 12 months of Time-of-Use (TOU) billing.
UPGRADING YOUR PANEL UPGRADES YOUR HOME
Adding a dedicated EV charging station (or station) to your residence may require upgrading your electric panel. As part of the application process, a qualified electrician will evaluate your home and determine whether you need to get an upgraded panel. If you do, then BWP will be able to offer you the additional panel upgrade rebate.
An upgraded panel also comes with some bonus benefits. It may open new opportunities for electrification in your home, such as electric heat pump water heaters, induction stoves, or even home solar and battery storage. It’s a great way to get started on your electrified future.
If you’re looking to maximize your home charging experience, consider a “smart” station with Wi-Fi /network capability and an active subscription to a qualified EV charging network, which will allow you to track charging data on your smartphone or other mobile devices. Customers that choose to install a smart charging station will be eligible for an increased rebate.
The Residential EV Charging Station Rebate Program requires participants to switch to BWP’s time-of-use (TOU) rate for a minimum of 12 months. With TOU, your electric usage is billed at a rate that varies based on the time of day and the season. This rate promotes shifting electric use to when renewables (sun, wind) are plentiful or when the overall demand for energy is lower.
The TOU rate provides the lowest energy cost if you charge your vehicle after 11 PM. With a Level 2 charging station, your EV will be fully charged by the time you need it in the morning. Your household energy costs may be higher between 8 AM and 11 PM, especially if you charge your EV during these hours, but you save on gasoline costs and contribute to cleaner air.
BWP’s Residential EV Charging Station Rebate Program offers generous new rebate amounts for Burbank EV owners looking to improve their home charging experience or those on the fence about purchasing an EV.
