Home Charging
Several utility companies in Colorado, including Xcel Energy, Black Hills Energy, Holy Cross Energy, San Isabel Electric Association, and Gunnison County Electric Association, provide additional incentives for residents in their service areas. Besides offering rebates, some utilities feature "time of use" rates, allowing residential customers to benefit from lower electricity prices for overnight charging. To explore all the utility incentives available in Colorado, visit the US Department of Energy's Alternative Fuels Data Center.
