Most EV owners do most of their charging at home. Chugach would benefit by having a better understanding where on its system 240-volt residential EV charging is occurring and what the load profiles of those members look like. Therefore, Chugach is offering a $200 credit to residential members who provide information about charging EVs at home with 240-volt equipment.

For the 2020 credit, members may claim for infrastructure installed during the window January 1, 2018 through December 31, 2020. This matches the window for a federal tax credit (see IRS form 8911). "Infrastructure" may include an EV charger or a 240-volt outlet used for charging an EV.

The Chugach credit is per charger, and not per member.  It is possible a household might have two EVs, each with its own charger. In that case two credits could be requested for the same residence.  Alternatively, a member with chargers installed at a primary residence and a residential recreational property could request credits at each location.

Chugach has budgeted for 50 residential credits in 2020, on a first-come, first-served basis.
