Yes. Participating businesses will charge customers for use of their public EV charging stations, which will generate a new revenue stream.

Businesses with publicly available parking can participate in our programs. Examples include, but are not limited to, shopping centers, restaurants, gyms, movie theaters, and parks.

The cost varies due to the specific needs of each location as well as the type and number of charging stations per site. Please contact ev@epelectric.com for more information.

The PowerConnect program offers rebates to commercial/municipal customers in Texas who are considering installing public EV charging stations at their respective businesses. These rebates from El Paso Electric help offset costs associated with distribution system upgrades or improvements needed to provide public EV charging capabilities. The customer is responsible for the purchase, operation, and maintenance of the charging stations.

Commercial/municipal customers may be eligible for the following rebates:

• Level 2 charging stations: Up to $20,000 per site
• DC Fast charging stations: Up to $200,000 per site

Rebates cannot be applied to current or future account balances. If the company’s estimated cost exceeds the maximum rebate available per site, the customer will be responsible for covering the remainder of the costs. No more than 20% of the available funding can go to a single eligible customer.
