Utility rules and programs for Laurel
Pepco and BGE serve Prince George’s County, so which rules apply depends on your address.

We found no Pepco solar or battery rebate. Pepco’s EV charger program amounts were not confirmed. |
| Baltimore Gas & Electric Co | investor-owned | Home Performance with ENERGY STAR rebates: up to $10,000 or 75 percent of project cost, or up to $15,000 with a heat pump fuel switch, and $100 per smart thermostat. BGE has a two-year virtual power plant pilot for batteries and EVs before the PSC (Case 9761); we could not confirm sign-up terms. We found no BGE solar or battery purchase rebate. |

How much does a home charger install cost in Laurel?
Typical U.S. installs run about $800 to $3,000 before the charger (EnergySage), but your panel and wiring decide your price. Get written quotes.

No, but a plan with cheap overnight hours can cut the cost. The state pays 50 percent of a home Level 2 charger up to $700 and offers an excise tax credit of up to $3,000 on a new plug-in car while funding lasts; BGE lists a smart-charging credit and EV rate (we could not open the page to confirm amounts), so ask your own utility.
