Programs a resident may apply for

Programs that are not a single-family garage rebate

These are included so a workplace grant, a multifamily grant, or a fuel credit that is not electricity is not read as money off a home charger.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charger Grants

AFDC significant update 7/11/2018; amended 2025-10-01; AFDC status amended. Charge Ahead Colorado. Not a typical single-family garage rebate. The current per-port amounts are the Colorado Energy Office schedule, not the older AFDC 80% formula.

The Colorado Energy Office Charge Ahead Colorado page lists a Level 2 incentive of $5,000 per charging port and an enhanced incentive of $7,000 per charging port. It requires a minimum match of 20%, reduced to 10% for qualifying entities. It does not use the older AFDC formula of 80% of charger cost up to $7,000 for a Level 2 charger of 6 kilowatts or higher.

That page says the standard and multifamily portfolio lane was open September 14 to October 16, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time. October 30, 2026 is after that window. The same page says a rolling lane is open year-round for projects requesting $50,000 or less for Level 2 charging or charging outlets.

Utility charger offers and EV rates

Look up the utility for an address in the AFDC U-Finder. What the electricity costs after the charger is in, using the EIA residential average, is on the Colorado charging-cost page.

Swipe the table sideways on a small screen. Open the utility tariff for cents per kilowatt-hour. This page does not add a rate AFDC does not print.

What to do with this list

Apply on the program site, not from this page. Ask the electrician for an itemized quote before you buy the charger. Whether the panel can take the circuit is a separate question, and that guide does not publish an upgrade price.

FAQ: home charger rebates in Colorado

Is there a rebate for a home Level 2 charger in Colorado?

Colorado has no verified home Level 2 dollar amount in this edition. Programs below are quoted so a public, multifamily, commercial, or non-EV credit is not mistaken for a garage rebate. Utility rows name the offer AFDC lists and do not add a price. The federal Section 30C credit does not apply to a charger placed in service after June 30, 2026.

Can a new home Level 2 installation in Colorado still claim the federal 30C credit?

P.L. 119-21, commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, changed the termination date for the section 30C alternative fuel vehicle refueling property credit from December 31, 2032, to June 30, 2026. You can't claim the credit for alternative fuel vehicle refueling property placed in service after June 30, 2026. For property of a character not subject to depreciation and which is placed in service at your main home (personal use property), the credit is 30% of the cost of the property, limited to $1,000 for each single item of qualified alternative fuel vehicle refueling property. Property placed in service after 2022 will not be treated as qualified alternative fuel vehicle refueling property unless it was placed in service in an eligible census tract. An EV charger installed at an individual taxpayer's principal residence will be placed in service when it is operational.

Where do I confirm the amount before I buy?

Use the program link on this page. Funding can be exhausted before the AFDC record comes down. A utility row that names a rebate does not state the dollars. The panel question is separate, on the panel guide, and the installation-cost page does not invent a statewide installation price.
