Smart Charging Program

If you have a PGE+ installer set up your charger, you will get a rebate for the installation cost. If you didn't use a PGE+ installer, we will check your eligibility and send a check to the person listed on the application, as long as they're either the account holder or a co-account holder.

Once we confirm that you meet the participation requirements for the season, we will apply a $25 credit to your PGE bill. This credit may be delayed based on the start of your billing cycle.

PGE residential customers who own or lease an electric vehicle or plug-in hybrid are eligible for either one charger rebate or one vehicle telematics rebate (Smart Charging powered by WeaveGrid) for each vehicle enrolled in the Smart Charging program. Each customer can enroll up to two vehicles.

Unfortunately, Tesla chargers don't have the capability to participate in the Smart Charging program. However, all chargers on our qualified product list can work with Tesla vehicles with a Tesla J1772 charging adapter. All Tesla vehicles should come with this adapter. If you use this adapter, please follow all local and national codes, standards, regulations, or laws.

You need to be the account holder or co-account holder to participate in this program. If you’re not, please ask the account holder to apply or add you as a co-account holder.

Yes. Just call Customer Service at 503-228-6322 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. We can help you update the name on the account. Make sure your name is updated before we can send you a rebate check.

• ChargePoint owners can find their model and serial numbers in the "About Charger" section of the mobile app, or on a sticker near the cord at the bottom of the charger and on the outside of the shipping package.

• In April 2021, Oregon updated its electrical codes to follow the 2020 National Electric Code (NEC). These updates require that electric vehicle (EV) chargers be hardwired for safety. It is important to hire a licensed electrician to hardwire your charger according to the manufacturer's instructions.

• A hardwired EV charger is directly connected to a dedicated branch circuit designated for the charger. Unlike plug-in chargers, hardwired chargers do not use plugs or receptacles. All qualified EV chargers must be hardwired to participate in the program, regardless of the type of plug used.

You will be responsible for meeting all codes and standards, so we recommend hiring a licensed electrician. You can choose to get a qualified Level 2 charger installed from a PGE Approved Contractor and get instant rebates. PGE+ is a convenient one-stop shop that makes finding and/or installing a Level 2 EV charger amazingly easy.
