In the program's own words
These are the sentences on the program page that the amount and eligibility above come from, as the page read on October 5, 2026:
All LADWP residential power account holders may receive rebates up to $1,000 on the purchase and installation of a qualified home EV charger.
Income-qualified customers participating in LADWP's Senior Citizen/Disability Lifeline or EZ-SAVE programs are eligible for an additional $500 rebate and can save up to $1,500.
Which chargers qualify
The program pays only for chargers on its own approved list.
We do not match our catalog of 238 Level 2 chargers against that list, because a model's place on it is the program's decision and changes over time. Check the approved list on the program page before you buy.
Los Angeles Department of Water & Power served 1,410,191 residential customers in 2024, the number 18 US electric utility by that count, per the EIA-861 annual survey. Program page read October 5, 2026; we re-read it monthly.
