The PUD is offering a reward to our customers for the purchase and installation of qualifying Level 2 Energy Star EV chargers in their homes.
What's the difference between Level 1 & Level 2 Chargers?
Unlike the Level 1 charger supplied with an EV, which plugs into a standard wall outlet, Level 2 chargers use a 240-volt dedicated outlet providing quicker charging time meeting the needs of longer range EVs.
The PUD is offering two different rewards depending on the type of qualifying Level 2 charger. The rewards and eligibility requirements are outlined below.
$500 PUD Reward
The PUD offers a $500 Reward to eligible customers who purchase and install a qualified Level 2 connected EV charger at their home.
Eligibility Requirements for $500 Reward
If you are a Snohomish County PUD customer and you live in a single family home, manufactured home or condominium, you are eligible for this reward (limit one per home).
The Level 2 connected charger must be on the Qualified Product List in effect at the time of purchase and you must apply for your reward within 90 days of purchase. Reward may not exceed purchase price.
Customer must agree to be contacted about and participate in future PUD EV charger programs, and agree to provide, or authorize the EV charger manufacturer to provide, PUD access to their charging data. The data collection will be used to conduct research on EV charging patterns and their collective effect on PUDs electrical system and develop strategies to mitigate their impact.
