User-friendly website designed to simplify the
process of safely installing EV charging equipment
As part of an ongoing effort to support customers considering
making the switch to electric vehicles (EVs), ComEd today announced
the recent launch of its new Electric Vehicle Service Provider
(EVSP) Network. This new, user-friendly resource is designed to
help residential and commercial customers find an ICC-certified
service provider to install EV charging infrastructure at their
home or business. Nearly 50 of these vendors are currently included
in the network, and the list continues to grow. These vendors are
well-versed on rebate programs offered by ComEd to help customers
qualify for rebates when installing EV chargers and streamline the
process by applying for rebates on their behalf.
“Switching to an EV can come with a variety of benefits,
including fuel cost savings and a reduced environmental impact.
However, we know that navigating the EV landscape can be
intimidating, which is why ComEd is committed to creating the tools
and resources to make it easier for customers to go electric,” said
Melissa Washington, senior vice president of customer operations
and strategy at ComEd. “ComEd created the EVSP network of local,
ICC-certified service providers to assist customers with choosing a
certified vendor and make it easier for our customers to qualify
for ComEd rebates to help offset EV charger and infrastructure
costs.”
EV adoption is on the rise with over 100,000 registered EVs in
Illinois alone, up from just 17,000 in 2019. ComEd is committed to
helping customers every step of the way with their EV transition
and has established a variety of resources, including the new EVSP
Network, the ComEd EV Toolkit and a variety of EV related rebates
to help make the transition to EVs more affordable and accessible
for customers.
In addition to providing a key resource for EV interested
customers, the ComEd EVSP Network will provide eligible vendors,
including contractors and engineering or design firms, training on
the processes and procedures of ComEd’s EV rebate programs. This
will enable members of the EVSP network to best support EV charger
installations throughout northern Illinois and help customers
qualify for ComEd rebates.
“The team of certified EV charger installers at Veteran’s Energy
is proud to be a part of the new ComEd EV Service Provider
network,” said Ed West, owner of Veteran’s Energy, a Joliet-based
service provider. “We anticipate this network will help make it
easier for potential customers to connect with us while they
navigate their EV journey and pursue assistance in purchasing and
installing EV charging equipment and related infrastructure.”
Any qualified service provider with ICC EV installer
certification may submit an application to be included in the free
ComEd EVSP program. For eligibility guidelines, applications and

This year, ComEd launched nearly $90 million in rebates for EV
charging infrastructure and fleet EVs to lessen the financial
burden of making the switch to EVs for customers. To ensure the
benefits of EVs can be accessed by all communities, ComEd’s EV
rebate programs reserve more than half of all funding for
low-income customers, as well as those who reside in equity
investment eligible community (EIEC). Business and public sector
customers, including school districts and local governments, can
apply for rebates to offset the cost of necessary make-ready
infrastructure to install Level 2 or Direct Current Fast Chargers
and electric fleet vehicles. Funding in 2024 remains available for
residential customers who meet ComEd’s income-eligibility
guidelines or who reside in an EIEC. These customers can receive
rebates up to $3,750 to offset the upfront cost of purchasing and
installing a Level 2 charger at home. Additional funds will become
available in 2025 for all residential and non-residential ComEd
customers. Additional funds will become available in 2025 for all
residential and non-residential ComEd customers.
