This article was last reviewed for accuracy by: George D., SunnyMac Interconnection and Rebates Supervisor, May 2025

Switching to an electric vehicle (EV) is a powerful step toward a sustainable future, thanks to local and federal incentives, installing an EV charger at your Delaware home has never been more affordable. At SunnyMac, we’re here to help you energize your lifestyle with reliable, end-to-end EV charger installation services in New Castle, Kent and Sussex counties. Plus we’ll help you tap into the latest EV charger rebates in Delaware.

Energize Delaware Residential Rebate Program

Delaware residents can save significantly on the purchase and professional installation of Level 2 EV chargers through the Energize Delaware Residential Rebate Program. This program offers generous rebates based on your household income:

Income-Eligible Residents

If you meet certain income eligibility requirements, you could qualify for a rebate covering up to 90% of the total costs, including both EV charger equipment and professional installation.

  • Eligibility is based on your household income falling within guidelines set by Energize Delaware’s low-to-moderate income (LMI) standards. These thresholds typically align with a percentage (e.g., 80% to 120%) of Area Medium Income (AMI) for your county (New Castle, Kent, or Sussex).
  • Maximum rebate amount: based on 90% of your total project cost.
  • Requirements: proof of income (such as tax returns or W-2 forms) may be needed when applying.
  • Important: only professionally-installed Level 2 chargers (208V/240V) qualify. Self-installed are not eligible.

Market-Rate Residents

Homeowners who do not meet the income-eligible criteria still qualify under the Market-Rate Program for a rebate covering up to 50% of the equipment and installation cost.

  • Maximum rebate amount: 50% of total project cost.
  • Eligibility: open to all Delaware residents, regardless of income, provided the EV charger is installed professionally.
  • Conditions: installation must be by a licensed electrician, applications must be filed within 60 days of the installation date. One rebate per household.

Important: across both groups, the program currently specifies that rebates are granted on a first-come, first-served basis until funding runs out.

At SunnyMac, we make it easy to qualify by providing seamless, compliant EV charger installation services across New Castle County, Kent County, and Sussex County, DE.

Federal EV Charger Incentives

In addition to state rebates, homeowners can claim valuable federal tax credits for EV charger installations.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • The federal tax credit covers 30% of your total cost for EV charging equipment and installation, up to $1,000.
  • To claim the credit, file Form 8911 with your federal income tax return
  • Keep detailed receipts for both your EV charger purchase and installation services.
  • The credit is non-refundable, meaning it reduces the taxes you owe but won’t result in a cash refund.

Our experienced team at SunnyMac is here to guide you through the process, ensuring you capture every available incentive for your Delaware home.
