Additional Information
The Charge Ahead Roseville program aims to support the adoption of electric vehicles by making home charging more accessible. Here are some key points to consider:
- Budget Limitations: The program operates on a limited budget, which means funds may run out before the end of the fiscal year. It’s advisable to apply as soon as possible if you’re eligible.
- Verification Process: To ensure proper use of the rebate, the city verifies that the customer account information matches the DMV vehicle registration. This helps prevent fraud and ensures that the rebates benefit actual EV owners in Roseville.
- Panel Upgrade Rebate: In recognition that some homes may require electrical upgrades to support Level 2 charging, the program offers an additional $1,500 rebate for panel upgrades. This can significantly offset the cost of preparing your home for EV charging.
- Income-Qualified Focus: With the discontinuation of the standard rebate, the program now focuses on supporting low-income residents and disadvantaged communities. This aligns with broader goals of ensuring equitable access to EV technology.
- Charger Specifications: The program requires a minimum 32-amp charger with at least a 15-foot cable. These specifications ensure that participants install capable chargers that can provide faster charging speeds and reach various parking configurations.
