ChargePoint L2 Home Charger Rebate
We are now offering $100 rebates to members who install a Level 2 ChargePoint electric vehicle (EV) home charger in their Hatteras Island home. The ChargePoint brand home chargers can be purchased from a variety of online retailers and are available as a plug-in station or hardwired station. These home stations charge most EVs in under four hours and work up to six times faster than using a regular wall outlet. Members can also use the ChargePoint app to schedule charging and take advantage of CHEC's Time-of-Use rate by charging when electricity is cheapest. ChargePoint is the first Energy Star certified EV charger and uses an average of 40% less energy than any other car chargers on the market.
All rebates will be in the form of bill credits. Members must fill out an application, supply a copy of the purchase receipt and sign a data sharing agreement, allowing the Cooperative to collect usage data from their charger. This valuable data will help CHEC learn about EV charging habits and trends on Hatteras Island.
