Georgia Power EV Charger Rebate: A Step-by-Step Guide for Georgia Homeowners (and What Has Changed)

Level 2 home EV charger installation in Georgia

Georgia Home Charger is a statewide referral service. We connect you with licensed, insured independent electricians in Georgia. We do not perform installations ourselves - the independent local electrician who visits your home performs the work.

Georgia Power offers a residential Level 2 charger rebate subject to eligibility and available funds. This guide summarizes its 2026 terms, checked October 28, 2026. Verify the program for your installation date before purchasing or applying.

What the 2026 terms cover

The 2026 terms list $150 per qualifying charger, up to two chargers per account, while funds are available and subject to documented eligible costs. The charger must be new, purchased by the customer, wall- or pedestal-mounted, and use a dedicated 208/240-volt circuit. Used, refurbished, rented, gifted equipment and mobile chargers or connectors are excluded. Confirm all eligibility conditions in the official terms.

Check the program year before you buy

The current overview page lists installations completed January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028. The linked 2026 terms instead list installations through December 31, 2026, while funds are available. These sources differ. Ask Georgia Power which terms apply to your installation date; do not assume funding or a future-year rebate is guaranteed.

Step 1: Confirm customer and equipment eligibility

Confirm you are an eligible Georgia Power residential customer and that the property and equipment qualify. The 2026 terms do not require the Plug-In Electric Vehicle rate. Check the current portal and terms before committing to equipment or installation.

Step 2: Plan a compliant installation

A qualified electrician is recommended for electrical assessment and installation. Rebate eligibility is a separate question: section 3.4.3 of the 2026 terms allows qualifying self-installed chargers when the applicant provides an installation photo and a signed, dated self-installation attestation. This does not waive permits, inspections, electrical codes, property-owner permission or association rules. Confirm those requirements with the relevant authority before work.

Step 3: Keep the evidence and submit on time

The 2026 terms require online submission through the Georgia Power EV Rebate Portal within six months of installation. Keep proof of purchase, paid charger and installation invoices, equipment details and any photos or self-installation documents the application requires. Follow the actual portal checklist. Do not substitute commercial-program paperwork or an older application window.

Step 4: Use one rebate route

A charger that received the $150 instant rebate through Georgia Power Marketplace is not eligible for a second rebate under the 2026 terms. Follow the applicable purchase route and do not claim twice for the same equipment.

Step 5: If an application needs follow-up

Check the customer, property, equipment, installation date, purchase evidence and submission deadline against the applicable terms. Contact Georgia Power through its official program page with the application reference if something is unclear. Do not send account information to this website or submit a duplicate rebate application unless the program operator directs you to.

The separate federal tax credit

The IRS states that qualifying home charging property had to be placed in service by June 30, 2026 for the federal section 30C credit. Historical eligibility also depends on location and other requirements. A new installation after that date cannot qualify under that cutoff. Ask a tax professional about any earlier eligible installation; the utility rebate is separate.
