Rhode Island EV Charging Incentives for Multifamily Properties

PowerUpRI Residential Program

The Rhode Island (RI) Office of Energy Resources launched the PowerUpRI rebate program to encourage RI homeowners and landlords of one up to four units to install EV charging stations in their homes and residential properties. The PowerUpRI rebate program offers financial incentives for eligible Level 2 EV chargers as well as any necessary electrical upgrades. There is a limit of one rebate per property – both for individual and landlord program installations. Rebates range from up to $350 to up to $700, or 50% (whichever is less) of the purchase price of a Level 2 residential EV Charger depending on if an electrical upgrade is needed during installation. Income qualified applicants may be eligible for additional funding.
