ComEd\u2019s 2026 programs continue to prioritize equity in increasing access to EVs and EV charging infrastructure<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nDuring the annual Chicago Auto Show, ComEd announced approximately $70 million in electric vehicle (EV) rebates available for residential, business and community customers in 2026. Funding for EV projects is designed to reduce the upfront cost barrier of EV adoption. ComEd offers a suite of programs covering residential EV chargers and installation, electric fleet vehicles and business and public sector make-ready charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAs the demand for EVs grow in our region, ComEd is committed to helping our customers navigate the transition to electric vehicles,\u201d said Ajit Apte<\/b><\/a>, SVP of Customer Operations at ComEd<\/b>. \u201cBuilding on the success of the last two years, ComEd is delivering a substantial investment in EV programs that will help remove cost barriers to EV projects at home and in our communities and businesses, which will in turn improve air quality and bolster a network of EV charging serving our northern Illinois communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nComEd EV rebates are made possible through the Beneficial Electrification program, approved by the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC). The programs place priority on funding for low-income customers and equity-eligible communities, and since launching in 2024, have delivered more than $160 million in EV funding for projects across northern Illinois, more than 80 percent of which has been directed to Equity Investment Eligible Communities (EIEC). These projects have helped add more than 10,000 EV chargers and directed investment in projects reaching 350 zip codes across Illinois.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cSince their initial launch, ComEd\u2019s EV rebate initiatives have helped empower consumers in northern Illinois to make cleaner choices and support the transition to zero emission transportation,\u201d said Megha Lakhchaura, State EV Officer of Illinois<\/b>. \u201cThese continued investments to support EV adoption and expanded charging infrastructure are leading the drive towards a more sustainable future for our state.\u201d<\/p>\n
