Electric Vehicles (EVs) save money in fuel and maintenance costs over the life of the car, but it can be challenging to cover the additional cost of a charger when purchasing your first EV. ComEd has recently launched a $5 million EV Charger and Installation Rebate Program, which allows qualifying participants to save up to $3,750. Any Level 2 charger purchased by a ComEd customer on or after February 1, 2024 is eligible to apply for the rebate program, which could result in the granting of a rebate valued between $2,500 and $3,750. This news is obviously good for your wallet, but it also ensures a more convenient charging experience while helping along the general shift to EVs. Compared to a wall outlet (a.k.a. a Level 1 charger), a level 2 charger is able to fully charge an EV in 6-8 hours. Given that most people plug in overnight, level 2 chargers work well for home use. This program will help to alleviate fears of inconvenience or cost associated with EV purchasing.

P.S. Chances are, if you’ve made it this far, then you are a proud EV owner or are considering purchasing an EV. If so, we invite you to attend Go Green Highland Park’s 2024 EV Show! This year, the event will be held in conjunction with the City of Highland Park’s Arbor Day Celebration on April 27, 2024 from 9:00 to 11:00 am at Ravinia Festival’s West Parking Lot. If you are an EV driver already, volunteer to share your experience owning an EV with potential new buyers here. If you are in the market for a new car, please plan to attend the show. Contact us with any questions.
