Arizona now has three separate utility EV charger rebates covered on this site, and they don’t overlap the way a single “Arizona rebate” search implies. SRP and APS split the Phoenix metro between them; Tucson Electric Power covers Tucson itself and the surrounding southern-Arizona territory — a market APS’s own materials describe only as scattered “Tucson-area pockets,” which understates how much of the actual city TEP serves.
$300 cap, but with a catch the other two don’t have
| Utility | Payout | Rate-plan requirement |
|---|---|---|
| SRP | $250 flat | None required |
| APS | $250 flat (WiFi-enabled charger) | None required for the $250 rebate |
| TEP | Up to $300 (75% of cost) | Mandatory 2-year Time-of-Use enrollment |
TEP’s $300 figure looks like the best deal of the three on paper, but it’s the only one of Arizona’s three utility rebates that makes you commit to a specific electricity rate structure for two years to collect it. If your household’s usage pattern doesn’t fit a TOU plan well — heavy midday air conditioning load in Tucson summers can make off-peak-focused TOU rates a net loss for some customers — that tradeoff is worth running through TEP’s own rate comparison tool before applying, not after you’ve already bought the charger.
The chargers on TEP’s approved list
ChargePoint Home Flex
- Named directly on TEP's own current program page, and its built-in networking satisfies the "networked charger" requirement without extra hardware.
- See our full ChargePoint Home Flex review for the hardwired-versus-plug tradeoffs.
Installing for a rental property or a small fleet of company vehicles? A free Amazon Business account unlocks quantity discounts and tax-exempt purchasing if you’re buying more than one charger at once.
Wallbox Pulsar Plus
- Also on TEP's approved list, and the most compact of the reviewed options if garage wall space is tight.
- See our full Wallbox Pulsar Plus review for its power-sharing app features.
Autel MaxiCharger AC Pro
- TEP names Autel directly among its approved brands, and the AC Pro's networked app scheduling clears the requirement outright.
- Read our full Autel MaxiCharger review for how it compares on power-sharing against Wallbox.
Notably absent from TEP’s named-brand list: Emporia. TEP’s page doesn’t call it out specifically the way it names Tesla, Wallbox, ChargePoint, Ford, GM, Rivian, Autel, and FLO — worth confirming with TEP directly before assuming an Emporia purchase will clear the rebate, since the other two Arizona utilities on this site (SRP, APS) do list it.
How to actually claim the $300
- Confirm TEP actually serves your address — Phoenix-area SRP or APS customers should use SRP’s or APS’s guide instead; the three programs aren’t interchangeable and TEP’s territory is Tucson and the surrounding southern-Arizona area.
- Decide on the Time-of-Use commitment first. Enrolling in a TOU rate plan for at least two years is mandatory, not optional, for this specific rebate — run TEP’s own rate comparison before buying if your household’s usage pattern is midday-heavy.
- Buy a networked Level 2 (or higher) charger from TEP’s approved brand list — mobile, portable, and dual-voltage chargers are explicitly excluded.
- Apply within 60 days of purchase through TEP’s online form with proof of purchase and a photo of the charger’s serial number.
The bottom line
TEP’s up-to-$300 rebate technically pays more than either SRP’s or APS’s flat $250, but it’s the only one of Arizona’s three utility programs that requires locking into a Time-of-Use rate plan for two years to collect it — a real behavioral commitment, not just a hardware purchase. ChargePoint, Wallbox, and Autel all clear TEP’s approved list and already have full reviews on this site.
