EV charger rebates and savings in Fresno.

The federal credit, PG&E rate plans, and how to actually lower what a home charger costs you.

Federal charger credit
30% of the install, up to $1,000

The federal Alternative Fuel Refueling Property Credit covers 30 percent of a home charger installation, up to $1,000, for households in eligible census tracts. Much of the Fresno area qualifies. Keep the itemized invoice and confirm with a tax professional.

Ongoing savings

PG&E EV rate plans

Fresno is PG&E territory, and PG&E offers EV-specific time-of-use rate plans that make overnight charging dramatically cheaper than daytime power. Charge after your plan's peak window ends and the per-mile cost of driving drops well below the price of gas. Set the schedule in your car or charger so it charges in the cheap window automatically.

What to keep

Documentation

To claim the federal credit and any utility incentive, keep your itemized installation invoice showing labor and equipment separately, the permit record, and the charger model information. Confirm current federal eligibility and any active PG&E or state programs before you file, since incentive programs change.
