The Charger Prep Credit reimburses electrical infrastructure costs — exactly the work Upstate EV Solutions performs.
Even though hardware and permits aren't covered, the eligible electrical work typically represents the largest portion of installation costs.
Most Duke Energy SC homeowners with an EV (or planning to get one) qualify. Here's what Duke Energy requires.
Must install a Level 2 EV charger requiring at least 40 amps on a new, dedicated circuit.
You must currently own an EV or be in the process of purchasing one within the next 120 days.
Your EV must be registered at the same address where the charger prep work is being performed.
You must be an active Duke Energy South Carolina residential customer to qualify.
Work completed in the last 120 days is retroactively eligible. Submit your paid invoice to apply.
We walk you through every step — installation and rebate paperwork — so you don't leave money on the table.
Call or request a free quote. We'll assess your home's electrical setup and confirm Duke Energy eligibility before any work begins.
Our licensed electricians install your Level 2 charger with all required electrical infrastructure — conduit, wiring, panel upgrades, and dedicated breaker.
Submit your paid invoice to Duke Energy at chargerprep.duke-energy.com. You can receive up to $1,236 back as a direct reimbursement check.
Combine with the federal 30% EV charger tax credit (up to $1,000 via IRS Form 8911) for maximum total savings.
The Duke Energy Charger Prep Credit can be combined with the federal 30% Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (IRS Form 8911), which covers up to $1,000 for residential EV charger equipment. That means qualifying homeowners could recover over $2,000 in total between both programs.
