Summary
Austin Energy provides rebates for the installation of public charging stations at multifamily properties. There are two rebate options, either independent charging stations or Plug-in Austin Charging Stations.
Independent Stations
Independent stations are responsible for energy pricing and can choose to run their stations on their own or partner with other 3rd party networks. For this option, station owners pay for all 3rd party network fees incurred. Independent station owners can also elect to install non-communicating station(s) and/or set no energy pricing. There is a higher rebate incentive for OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) compliant stations.
Plug-in Austin Charging Stations
Station hosts joining the Plug-in Austin network agree to let Austin Energy set station pricing. For this option, Austin Energy also pays for network renewal fees. Commercial Austin Energy account holders or their authorized representative are eligible for Plug-In Austin EV Charging Station Rebates if they install a ChargePoint network compatible station and join the Plug-In Austin network. The Plug-In Austin network allows subscribed drivers to charge unlimited for $4.17 per month at Level 2 stations (2023).
