Our rating: For some

For LADWP customers this is one of the most generous charger rebates we found: $1,000 would cover a $299.99 charger and part of the installation. It only helps households in LADWP's service area, which is why we rate it "For some".

The catch

Only LADWP residential power customers qualify. The charger must be network capable (Wi-Fi or internet) and installed before you apply; claiming installation needs a licensed electrician and a finaled LADBS permit. Payment can take up to 120 days, funds are limited and LADWP may waitlist applications.

Good for

Households served by LADWP that are buying and installing a Wi-Fi Level 2 charger anyway.

The offer in detail

LADWP pays up to $1,000 toward buying and installing a qualifying home charger. Customers in its Senior Citizen/Disability Lifeline or EZ-SAVE programs get $500 more, up to $1,500. A dedicated EV meter adds another $250, according to the program page and the application.

The charger must have a J1772 or J3400 (NACS) connector, be certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory, be Wi-Fi or internet connected and be bought new from a retailer. LADWP's qualifying list includes the Enphase IQ EV Charger 2, the Grizzl-E Ultimate, the Tesla Wall Connector, the ChargePoint Home Flex and models from Emporia and Autel; LADWP says the list is not exhaustive.

You apply within 12 months of buying the charger, after it is installed. The charger has to stay in service at the address for at least six months, there is one rebate per residence, and the rebate can't exceed your cost minus other incentives. A May 2026 LADWP newsletter still mentions combining the rebate with the federal credit; that credit ended for chargers placed in service after June 30, 2026.

If you rent or live in a condo, read “EV charging for renters and condo owners: right-to-charge laws by state in 2026” before you install anything.
