1. Choose Your Charging Speed
Want faster charging and a rebate? Choose 240 volt charging. A 240 volt charger adds about 20-30 miles per hour of charging. We recommend installing a NEMA 14-50 outlet, which is compatible with many home chargers like those approved for the PowerMIDrive rebates.
Adds 3-4 miles per hour of charging. Plug your vehicle’s charging cord into a normal household, three-prong, 120-volt outlet.
2. Explore Charger Rebates
You can qualify for a rebate of up to $500 with an approved new Level 2 charger installation or a prior installation.
See Rebate Details
Consumers Energy is offering a $500 rebate for customers installing a Residential Home UL-Certified, Energy Star rated Level 2 charger with up to 9.6 kW of output (Up to 50AMP circuit)
3. Install Your Charger
Please Note: There is a difference between a hardwired home charger installed by a professional and a plug-in home charger. Recommended chargers such as the NEMA 14-50 outlet allows for a Level 2 home charger to be taken with you if you move. All PowerMIDrive rebate eligible home chargers have both a hard-wired and plug-in option available to you.
Consult a licensed electrical contractor to see what’s needed for your Level 2 charger installation. Your electrician or local city government can inform you of permits or other documents as required. Click here to find an electrician in your area.
