The offer
What SRP actually pays
SRP keeps it simple: $250 off a qualifying Level 2 smart charger, taken one of two ways. Buy one of the four models on SRP Marketplace and the $250 comes off instantly at checkout; or buy any of the roughly 18 eligible Level 2 smart chargers from a third-party vendor and file the rebate application within 90 days of purchase. The exclusions are strict — new chargers only (no used or auction-site units, no eBay), no dealership freebies, and no portable units like the Tesla Mobile Connector or Rivian Portable Charger. Joining the SRP EV Community adds a one-time $50 bill credit, and SRP's EV Price Plan handles the ongoing off-peak savings.

EV rates & charging rewards
Plans: SRP EV Price Plan (super off-peak overnight) · SRP EV Community ($50 join credit).
The EV Price Plan's overnight window is where the real money is in the Valley — summer on-peak rates are brutal, overnight rates are among the cheapest in the country. The $50 EV Community credit is a nice one-time add for filling out a profile.
Do it right
How to apply, step by step
Step 1
Check the eligible charger list; if one of the 4 Marketplace models works for you, buy there and take the $250 instantly
Step 2
Otherwise buy an eligible model anywhere reputable (not auctions/used) and calendar the 90-day application deadline
Step 3
Have the 240V circuit installed with a permit — SRP's rebate covers hardware, so get install quotes separately
Step 4
Submit the rebate application with proof of purchase within 90 days
Step 5
Join SRP EV Community for the $50 credit and switch to the EV Price Plan for overnight rates

SRP — frequently asked questions
How much is the SRP EV charger rebate?
$250 off a qualifying new Level 2 smart charger — instantly at SRP Marketplace checkout (4 models) or via a rebate application filed within 90 days for the roughly 18 other eligible models bought elsewhere. A one-time $50 bill credit for joining SRP EV Community stacks on top.
Which chargers qualify for the SRP rebate?
New Level 2 smart chargers on SRP's eligible list — about 18 models via the application path, 4 via the instant Marketplace discount. Used units, auction-site purchases, dealership-provided chargers and portable units (Tesla Mobile Connector, Rivian Portable) do not qualify.
Does the SRP rebate cover installation costs?
No — it's a hardware rebate. The 240V circuit, permit and electrician labor are on you (typically $600–$1,500 for a straightforward Phoenix-area install). Budget the install separately and don't skip the permit; Maricopa-area inspectors see a lot of EV circuits.
I'm in Phoenix — SRP or APS rebate?
Whichever utility bills your meter. SRP pays $250 on the charger; APS runs its own program with different terms. The Valley is split between the two, and you can only claim from your own provider.
