If you searched “Rocky Mountain Power EV charger rebate” expecting a flat check like the $250–$1,000 programs covered elsewhere on this site, that program used to exist and doesn’t anymore. Rocky Mountain Power quietly retired its home-charger rebate, and what replaced it is a behavioral rewards program — narrower than it sounds, and only available in one of the three states the utility serves.
What Rocky Mountain Power actually offers in 2026
| Program | Worth | States | What it requires |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home charger purchase rebate | $0 — discontinued | None (was UT/ID/WY) | N/A, no longer offered |
| Wattsmart Drive | $100 year 1, $50/year after | Utah only | Allow up to 5-minute charging pauses, up to 48x/year |
| EV Time-of-Use rate | Lower per-kWh cost overnight | UT / ID / WY | Enroll in the TOU rate plan; no charger purchase required |
| Commercial/workplace charger rebate | Up to $1,000 (single port) / $1,500 (dual port) L2; far more for DCFC | UT / ID / WY | Workplace, multifamily, or community property — not a single-family home |
The only program on this list that pays toward hardware at all is scoped to businesses and multifamily properties. A homeowner wiring a single garage gets exactly two consumer-facing options, and neither one puts money toward the charger itself — Wattsmart Drive pays you to let the utility interrupt your charging sessions, and the Time-of-Use rate simply prices electricity differently by time of day.
Wattsmart Drive: what the $100 actually buys the utility
Per Rocky Mountain Power’s own program page, Wattsmart Drive works like this: during “Plug-In Perk” events — called when regional demand runs high, capped at 48 times a year — the utility can pause your EV’s charging session for up to 5 minutes at a time. You get advance notice and can override any given pause. In exchange, Rocky Mountain Power credits your bill up to $100 for the first year and up to $50 for each year after that. Two opt-outs a year are penalty-free; every opt-out beyond that knocks $10 off that year’s credit.
That’s a real, if modest, incentive — worth enrolling in if you already own a compatible EV and charger, since it requires no new equipment. It is not, however, a substitute for the rebate Rocky Mountain Power used to pay toward buying the charger in the first place, and it’s Utah-only despite the utility also serving Idaho and Wyoming customers under the same brand.

The state fallback that isn’t one
Search results for “Utah EV charger rebate” frequently surface Utah’s “Charge Your Yard” program as if it fills the gap. It doesn’t — per the Utah Department of Environmental Quality’s own program page, Charge Your Yard rebates electric lawn equipment (up to $200 for recycling a gas-powered leaf blower, trimmer, or chainsaw in five specific counties), not EV chargers, and the residential track is currently closed to new applicants. There is no dedicated Utah state-level home-charger rebate standing in for what Rocky Mountain Power stopped paying.
Same parent company, a different deal next door
Rocky Mountain Power and Pacific Power are both PacifiCorp brands — Rocky Mountain Power covers Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming, while Pacific Power covers Oregon, Washington, and California. Per Pacific Power’s own current rebate page, its residential program is still active, but only for income-qualified customers: up to $1,500 for a hardwired Level 2 charger or $500 for a 240-volt outlet, limited to Oregon households at or below 150% of the state median income. A Rocky Mountain Power customer gets no equivalent path at any income level — the same corporate parent, running two genuinely different programs depending on which state brand is on your bill.
The bottom line
Rocky Mountain Power doesn’t pay toward a home charger purchase anymore — the rebate that used to exist (75% up to $200) is gone, and only a commercial/workplace version survives. In its place, Utah customers get Wattsmart Drive’s modest $100-then-$50/year bill credit for tolerating brief charging pauses, and all three states get an EV Time-of-Use rate that changes when you pay less, not how much you pay upfront. Our EV charger rebate guide rounds up the utilities that still pay a real purchase rebate, and our Con Edison EV charger rebate breakdown covers another utility on this site with no purchase rebate at all — a rewards program in place of a check, same as here.
