Reduce the Cost of Installing EV Charging at Your Property
Pacific Power offers rebates to help Oregon businesses, municipalities and multifamily properties purchase and install qualified electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
Depending on the property and charger type, eligible projects may receive:
Up to $4,500 per Level 2 charging port

Understanding the Pacific Power E-Mobility Grant vs Pacific Power Commercial Rebates
Commercial EV Charger Rebate
Active while funds remain
Prescriptive per-port incentives
Available for conventional commercial and multifamily installations

For most conventional Pacific Power commercial-property charging projects, the commercial charger rebate is currently the more direct funding path. If you are replacing broken chargers, or need an upgrade, this is a great choice; especially if your site is mixed use with a multifamily community!
Who Qualifies?
The program is intended for existing Pacific Power nonresidential customers in Oregon installing qualified chargers behind a nonresidential meter.
Eligible property and organization types may include:
Commercial properties
Small businesses
Office and workplace locations
Municipal and government properties
Hotels and hospitality sites
Hospitals and medical facilities
Nonprofit and tribal organizations
Multifamily housing
Public and destination-charging locations
The current application also asks whether the chargers will serve workplace, fleet, multifamily, public, corridor or other charging uses. Public access is therefore not a universal requirement; both publicly accessible and private-use projects may be considered if the underlying program requirements are met.
Small-Business Eligibility
For the enhanced Level 2 incentive, Pacific Power defines a small business as a facility that:
Is less than 20,000 square feet, or
Employs 20 or fewer people at the charger installation location
Multifamily Eligibility
A qualifying multifamily property must:
Contain at least three residential units
Serve as the occupants’ primary residence
Install the chargers behind a nonresidential Pacific Power meter
What Costs Can the Rebate Cover?
Pacific Power calculates the incentive as a percentage of qualified project costs, subject to the applicable per-port and per-site limits.
Final project invoices may include:
Qualified EV charging equipment
Electrical installation work
Applicable electrical infrastructure
Site upgrades associated with the charging installation
Permitting and related installation costs, where approved
Final paid invoices are required. Estimates and contractor quotes are not accepted as evidence of completed project costs. Pacific Power retains discretion over which costs are accepted as qualified expenses.

Let’s Lower the Cost of Your Oregon EV Charging Project
Pacific Power’s commercial rebate can greatly support the cost of qualified Level 2 and DC fast charging installations, but only when the meter, equipment, networking, installation and documentation all satisfy the program’s requirements.
Charli can help you take care of every little detail: evaluating your site, selecting a compliant charging system, preparing the project documentation and operating and evaluating the infrastructure after commissioning.
