Silicon Valley Power’s (SVP) EV Charging Station Incentive program for Multifamily Residential Properties and Commercial Properties provides rebates for zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) infrastructure equipment for battery electric vehicles in the City of Santa Clara. These incentives help lower the upfront costs of make ready, equipment and software costs associated with infrastructure for ZEVs and offers increased incentives for projects that meet equity eligibility criteria.

Combining Incentives

Installations may be eligible for additional funding programs. When customers combine incentives from multiple sources, Silicon Valley Power incentives may be reduced so total incentives do not exceed the applicable caps indicated in the incentive table above. The site eligibility, as outlined in the eligibility section, applies to all program segments unless otherwise designated. Cannot be combined with CALeVIP or other SVP funded program.

Maximum incentive award is up to the specified % of eligible project costs, maximum per property cap, or maximum per port/outlet incentive - whichever is less, unless otherwise stated.
