Get your panel charge‑ready — for as little as $0 out of pocket.
Summit Electrical Services is an approved contractor for Southern California Edison's Charge Ready Home Program. If you qualify, SCE covers up to $4,200 toward upgrading your home's electrical panel so it can support a Level 2 EV charger.
Most homes built before EVs weren't wired for them.
A panel under 200 amps usually can't take on a Level 2 charger without an upgrade. Here's what that upgrade actually gets you.
Room for a Level 2 charger
A dedicated 240V circuit means a full overnight charge instead of a slow trickle from a standard outlet.
Lower fire and malfunction risk
Aging panels are a common source of electrical failure. A rated, up-to-code panel reduces that risk.
Capacity for what's next
Solar, a heat pump, a room addition, a second EV — extra amperage now saves a second project later.
Higher resale value
A modern panel and EV-ready circuit are a tangible upgrade buyers notice on inspection.
Two ways to qualify.
Rebate amount depends on household income and location, as determined by SCE.
For qualified low-income households, or households enrolled in at least one qualifying public assistance program.
For qualified households located in a designated disadvantaged community (DAC).
