Background on The Program
As electric vehicle (EV) adoption grows in California, property owners are looking for ways to provide charging access for residents. To help meet this growing demand, City of Palo Alto Utilities (CPAU) is offering thousands in funding for EV charger installations at multifamily properties. Qualifying applicants can receive up to $8,000 per charging port and as much as $80,000 per property for installation. However, rebates are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are subject to funding availability, so start your application as soon as possible for the best chance of receiving funds.
