    Questions

    Rebate questions, answered.

    Which utilities pay for the Smart Splitter?

    PG&E pays 50% of its price back, SMUD pays $200, Tacoma Power gives a $400 bill credit, Holy Cross Energy pays $250 ($500 income-qualified), Norwood Municipal Light pays 50% up to $350, CORE in the Aspen area pays 50% of the cost, and BC Hydro adds $200 when you install it with an eligible Level 2 charger. Enter your ZIP above to see what applies at your address.

    What does “ask first” mean?

    Some programs may pay toward the Smart Splitter only if a condition is met — for example installing it with a new charger or a heat pump, joining a time-of-use rate, or the utility approving it case by case. We list those separately and never add them to your savings total. Check with the program before you buy.

    Can I still get the federal EV charger tax credit?

    The federal credit (IRS Form 8911) ended for home charging equipment placed in service after June 30, 2026. Installs completed on or before that date may still qualify on that year’s return — check with a tax professional.

    Do I need an electrician or a permit?

    The Smart Splitter plugs into the 240V dryer or range outlet you already have, so there’s no new circuit to wire. Some rebates still require a licensed electrician or a permit — BC Hydro and LADWP, for example — so read the program’s terms before you apply.

    Do rebates come off the checkout price?

    No. Utility rebates are paid after you buy and apply, usually by check or bill credit. NeoCharge’s own utility codes, like SDGE and SCE, are the exception — they apply at checkout.

    How long does a rebate take?

    Most utilities pay within 4–8 weeks of approving your application. Apply soon after you install — many programs have a 90- to 180-day window.

    My utility isn’t listed. What now?

    Email hello@neocharge.io with your utility’s name and we’ll check it. Even without a rebate, sharing your existing outlet usually avoids the cost of a new 240V circuit.

    Sources & methodology. Every amount comes from the program’s own website or terms and is re-checked regularly. Programs that pay toward the Smart Splitter are listed first; “ask first” means the program may cover it if a condition is met.
