The Southern California Edison (SCE) Charge Ready Home program, administered by CSE, helps residents in disadvantaged communities and income-qualifying households upgrade their homes’ electrical infrastructure to support electric vehicle (EV) charging.
Eligible SCE customers can receive rebates of up to $4,200 to:
- Upgrade their electrical panel to 200 amps or higher.
- Install a dedicated 240-volt circuit for Level 2 EV charging.
Funded by California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard program, Charge Ready Home helps reduce financial barriers to home EV charging and supports statewide clean transportation and equity goals.
