Charge at Home for Multifamily Housing

Funding to support multifamily housing charging infrastructure

While electric vehicle sales continue to grow, the lack of accessible and affordable charging at multifamily housing complexes remains a major barrier to electric vehicle adoption. 

That’s why we’re proud to expand our Charge at Home program to multifamily housing complexes, and extend financial support to those wanting to install charging equipment for their residents. 

Homeowner associations or authorized property managers may choose from one of the two following options to enroll in Charge at Home and receive financial assistance to offset equipment installation costs:

Option 1
  • Agree to allow HCE to occasionally delay vehicle charging during times of peak electricity demand.
Option 2
  • Install your charging equipment on a separate meter enrolled in our Time of Use rate.

In exchange for enrolling in one of the above options, members can receive incentives of up to:

$2,000 per port / electrified parking space
  • Minimum of two, maximum of ten ports per project.
Plus up to $20,000 in-kind support for needed utility upgrades
  • Eligible Expenses: necessary utility side of the meter upgrades (including transformers)
  • Ineligible Expenses: any member side of the meter upgrades (such as panels, subpanels, conduit, and trenching)

Additional rebates for smart panel upgrades are available if needed for your project.

Option 1

  • Charging for residents may be delayed by a few hours during evening hours.

Option 2

  • You set up a separate meter and enroll it in our Time of Use Rate. 
  • The cost of setting up a separate meter may be prohibitive to many members.

How much does it cost?

The electric vehicle charger (or two) is free. Your electrician can quote you the cost to install the charger at your home. Installation may cost $800 to $2,000 depending on your property, access, location and labor costs. You can pay your electrician upon installation or have us pay the upfront cost and distribute it on your bill. But no slacking: If you don’t complete all the steps within 60 days, you’ll be charged $650 for the charger on your next electric bill.

To buffer installation costs, you can find rebates on our rebates page and at aspencore.org/core-rebates.

Your electrician will provide a quote you for installation costs, which vary depending on your property, access, location and labor required.

Funding is limited and will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Still in its early pilot stage, this program aims to overcome barriers associated with electric vehicle charging at multifamily housing complexes while encouraging flexibility associated with EV charging load. Rebate funding will only be distributed to applicants on a reimbursement basis after the project has been completed and all requirements, terms and conditions have been met.
