Georgia EV Charging Incentives for Multifamily Properties
-
Cobb EMC’s EV Grant Program provides funding to businesses, property owners, multifamily unit owners and government agencies who are interested in installing electric vehicle charging stations at their place of business. The program grants $500 to $5,000 to recipients to assist with the cost of purchasing and installing EV supply equipment (EVSE). Grant funds are allocated until all funds are exhausted, and the grant amount will vary based on each application, with preference given to proposals that promote public access to EV charger(s) or that benefit the greatest number of EV users.

Georgia Power offers two tiers of incentives for customers based on the power rating of the EV chargers. The total rebate value will be determined based on the quantity and types of chargers being installed.

Customers may opt to take advantage of the Georgia Power Make-Ready program, but may not participate in both programs for the same location.
