Most utility EV charger rebates come with a catch buried in the fine print — an approved-brand list, a mandatory rate-plan switch, an income test. Georgia Power’s program is unusual for how few of those catches it actually has, which makes the one real catch (no portable chargers) easy to miss if you’re skimming.
The number: $150, up to $300 per household
Georgia Power’s residential program pays a flat $150 rebate per Level 2 charger, and unlike most single-charger utility programs, it allows a maximum of two rebates per account — meaning a household installing chargers for two EVs can claim up to $300 total in 2026. The program window runs January 1 through December 31, 2026, funded on a first-come, first-served basis until the budget for the year runs out.

What actually has to be true about the charger
This is where Georgia Power’s program diverges from most of the others we’ve covered in this series. There’s no published list of pre-approved brands — you don’t have to cross-reference your cart against a PDF the way PSE&G or ComEd customers do. Instead, three plain requirements apply:
- Level 2 (208/240-volt). A 120-volt trickle charger or Level 1 cord doesn’t qualify.
- Wall- or pedestal-mounted on a dedicated circuit. The charger can’t share a circuit or outlet with any other equipment in the home.
- New and customer-purchased. Used chargers, and chargers purchased by a third-party installer or EV charging business on your behalf, are excluded.
The one exclusion worth flagging in bold: mobile chargers and connectors don’t qualify, and Georgia Power’s terms name the Tesla Mobile Connector specifically as an example. If you’re a Tesla owner planning to rely on the bundled mobile connector plugged into an existing NEMA outlet, that setup won’t earn the $150 — you need a permanently mounted Level 2 unit instead. Our Tesla Wall Connector vs. Mobile Connector comparison breaks down why a wall-mounted unit is worth the upgrade anyway, rebate aside.
ChargePoint Home Flex
- Wall-mounted with a dedicated hardwired or NEMA 14-50 circuit — clears Georgia Power's mounting and dedicated-circuit requirements without any brand-approval step to check first.
- Adjustable 16–50A output lets your electrician size the circuit to whatever your panel supports, useful if you're installing toward the two-charger, $300 household maximum.

No rate-plan switch required — but one exists if you want it
Several utilities in this series (ComEd is the strictest example) require enrolling in a specific time-of-use rate plan for a multi-year term before they’ll pay out a rebate. Georgia Power doesn’t: enrollment in its optional plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) rate, which discounts charging between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m., is not a condition of the $150 rebate. You can take the rebate and stay on your existing rate plan, or separately opt into the PEV rate if the overnight discount is worth it for your charging habits — the two are independent decisions.
Autel MaxiCharger AC Pro
- Hardwired-only design satisfies the dedicated-circuit requirement outright, and its outdoor rating suits a pedestal or exterior wall mount if your garage panel is on the other side of the house.
- Wi-Fi scheduling works whether or not you separately enroll in Georgia Power's optional overnight PEV rate.

How to actually claim it
Two paths, both straightforward:
- Buy through the Georgia Power Marketplace. The $150 comes off instantly at checkout — no separate application.
- Buy anywhere else (including Amazon) and submit a rebate request. Head to georgiapower.com/evrebate with your paid installation and charger invoices, filed within six months of the install date.
Third-party vendors and EV charging businesses can’t file on a customer’s behalf, and the program is restricted to single-family homes and townhomes — multi-unit buildings aren’t eligible under this residential track.
The bottom line
Georgia Power’s $150-per-charger rebate is modest next to PG&E’s $2,000 or Eversource’s $2,700, but it’s one of the easiest to actually collect: no approved-brand list to cross-check, no mandatory rate-plan switch, and a straightforward six-month filing window if you didn’t buy through the Marketplace. The one rule that trips people up is the mobile-connector exclusion — budget for a wall-mounted Level 2 charger, not the cord that came in the box with your EV.
