Income-qualified
A qualifying Level 2 charger and installation may be covered under DTE's residential program.
DTE residential customers, businesses, fleets and multifamily property owners planning Level 2 EV charging.
Business Level 2
Up to $2,500 per port for qualifying eFleet or public Level 2 projects.
Multifamily
Up to $5,000 per Level 2 port, or up to $14,400 at qualifying income-eligible properties.
Income-qualified home EV-charger rebate
DTE states that eligible residential electric customers may qualify for a rebate covering the cost of a Level 2 charger and installation. The customer must meet the current income and account requirements, purchase a qualifying charger, and submit the application within six months of installation.
DTE identifies ENERGY STAR-certified chargers or chargers made by the same manufacturer as the customer's EV as qualifying equipment categories. The program agreement controls all final requirements.
Business and public Level 2 charging
DTE lists incentives of up to $2,500 per Level 2 port for qualifying eFleet and public charging projects. Business-account status, site access, equipment ownership and other program-specific requirements apply.
This Landmark resource focuses on Level 2 projects that fit typical residential and commercial work. DC fast-charging programs have separate utility, equipment-capacity, engineering and utility-coordination considerations.
Multifamily EV charging
DTE lists up to $5,000 per Level 2 port for qualifying multifamily properties and up to $14,400 per Level 2 port for income-eligible multifamily properties. Current requirements include an active DTE business electric account, installation rights, a separate meter and ongoing equipment-availability obligations.
Smart Charge is a separate ongoing incentive
DTE's Smart Charge program is not an installation rebate. Its current materials describe a $5 monthly participation incentive for eligible customers who allow managed charging, with the current program scheduled through December 2026. Vehicle, account and enrollment requirements apply.
Electrical planning still comes first
A rebate does not confirm that the existing panel, service or circuit can support the charger. Landmark evaluates available capacity, conductor routing, charger rating, hardwired-versus-receptacle options, permits and load-management choices before presenting the installation scope.
Program terms control eligibility
Rebates, discounts and credits are not guaranteed. Eligibility, funding, qualifying equipment, application timing and payment are determined by the program administrator. Verify the current official requirements before purchasing equipment or beginning work.

Does every DTE homeowner receive a charger rebate?
No. The current home program is income-qualified and also has account, vehicle, charger and application requirements.
Is a NEMA 14-50 outlet automatically eligible?
No. DTE's home rebate focuses on qualifying Level 2 charging equipment and the program agreement controls eligible costs. Landmark can still evaluate a receptacle-based charging installation when appropriate.
Can a multifamily project use the residential program?
Typically no. DTE maintains a separate multifamily program for qualifying business electric customers operating multifamily properties.
Does Landmark submit the rebate application?
Only if that administrative service is expressly included in the written scope. The customer remains responsible for satisfying DTE's program and account requirements.
