FAQs

EV charging rebates are incentives that help offset the cost of purchasing and installing EV charging equipment at multifamily properties. Catalyst Mobility & the Department of Energy and the Environment’s EV charging rebates provide multifamily properties in the District of Columbia with funding to assist with the acquisition, installation, operation, and maintenance of EV chargers.

Multifamily properties may receive up to $8,000 per Level 1 Outlet, Level 2 Outlet, or EVSE that they install, capped at 60% of total eligible costs for resident-only charging, and at 80% of total eligible costs for publicly accessible charging. A maximum award of $200,000 may be granted per site. Properties must install at least 4 EV chargers to qualify.

An EV outlet is a dedicated Level 1 or Level 2 charging outlet assigned to a resident's parking space, ideal for overnight charging at multifamily properties. An EVSE is a hardwired Level 2 unit better suited for shared or guest parking. Most multifamily properties benefit from a mix of both.

Orange has committed over 10,000 chargers across multifamily properties nationwide. We assist you throughout the entire application process, from an eligibility check to the incentive application, and recommend the right charging mix for your property and portfolio.
