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.
