Electric Vehicles (EVs)

Are you ready to plug in to a zero-emissions car? EVs have no tailpipe emissions and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Switching your main car to an EV saves the cost of gas and lowers maintenance costs too. Driving an EV typically costs less than half of what it costs to drive a gas car. 

EV benefits:

Energy efficient

Lower emissions

Improved air quality

Reduced maintenance costs

Reduced energy dependence

1. Review your options for EVs and EV Charging Stations.

2. Understand the basics of safety for charging and EVs.

3. Find nearby Charging Stations for EVs

4. Register your Electric Vehicle with ComEd.

5. Did you know? Your Electric Vehicle Charging Station installer must be certified with the Illinois Commerce Commission. 

6. Obtain a permit before installing an EV Charging Station. Learn more about the Electric Vehicle Charging System Permit Requirements.

7. A person may only park an electric vehicle in an electric vehicle charging station space designated for use by electric vehicles. Unauthorized use of EV-only parking by non-EVs at both public and private properties is prohibited pursuant to Illinois Vehicle Code 625 ILCS 5/11-1308. 

Electric Vehicle Charger and Installation Rebate Program

Funds for 2025 rebates are now available for all ComEd customers on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note: rebate levels are changing in 2026, per ComEd’s BE Plan 2 ICC approved order.

For a rebate to be issued, the contractor that completed the installation work must have had an active Electric Vehicle Charging Station Installer certification from the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) when the installation occurred—certifications must be renewed by April 1, annually.

Rebates will not be issued for applications for chargers that are self-installed. More EV resources: ComEd website
