Hardwired or Plug-In?

A hardwired charger is cleaner and can charge faster. A NEMA 14-50 outlet lets you use a plug-in charger you can take with you. Both need a dedicated 240V circuit.

Rebates

LADWP, Southern California Edison and the city utilities in Pasadena, Glendale and Burbank have offered EV charger programs at different times. Programs change, so check your utility’s current offer before you buy.
