Pacific Power Oregon EV Charger Rebate Guide: Step-by-Step 2026 Application Blueprint
Pacific Power Oregon residential electric customers in Bend, Redmond, and Central Oregon are eligible for a standard $500 cash-back rebate (or up to $1,000 for income-qualified households) when purchasing and installing a qualified Level 2 EV charging station. To qualify, the installation must be performed by a licensed electrician, receive an official electrical trade permit sign-off, and use a qualifying ENERGY STAR® certified EVSE unit. Combine this with the 30% IRS Section 30C federal tax credit to recoup up to 70% of total hardware and installation expenses.
