* Incentives are not to exceed 50% of total charger and installation costs or the per-port incentive cap, whichever is lower. Additional funding caps per site may apply. See application for more information.
† Electric rail yard equipment includes rail yard switchers and rail car movers.
‡ Covers any utility-owned infrastructure and equipment that provides electric services, extensions, or upgrades needed to support the installation of EV infrastructure in excess of standard new business allowances and any customer-owned equipment from the point of interconnection up to (but not including) the charging equipment.
§ Funding from all charging infrastructure incentive pathways will not exceed 100% of total customer project costs; this includes projects in which a combination of Make-Ready Incentive and On- or Non-Road Incentive pathways are applied. City Light will not provide funding that contributes to the customer more than the total cost of the project when also considering funding received from other sources. Make-ready incentives are subject to a cap of $200,000 per site and per customer. Incentive caps are subject to change per City Light discretion and availability of program funds. Project applications which exceed the customer cap will be considered on an individual basis.
