Consumers Energy in Jackson has launched the PowerMIDrive program to install EV chargers at apartment buildings, condominiums, and overnight community locations across the state.

The PowerMIDrive program will actively focus on providing rebates for EV chargers at apartments and other multifamily locations where vehicle owners need to charge their vehicles overnight.

The new multifamily EV charging program offers $7,500 rebates to encourage property owners to invest in overnight charging for their tenants.

The community charging pilot will provide a $7,500 rebate to 25 Michigan municipalities that install a charger in public parking lots or curbside locations, with a focus on places within one block of multifamily properties.

“Consumers Energy is driven to provide solutions that accelerate the growth of EVs, as we plan to power up to 1 million carbon-free vehicles on Michigan roads by 2030,” says Lauren Snyder, vice president of customer experience for Consumers Energy. “By focusing on multifamily and community charging, we’re adding another piece of the puzzle that removes barriers for drivers making the switch to EVs.”
