Customers who purchase or lease an eligible new Chevrolet, Cadillac or GMC electric vehicle at a participating dealership can receive a GM Energy PowerShift or GM PowerUp 2 charger at no additional hardware cost, a value of up to $1,999. Participants can also receive a $15 monthly PG&E bill credit through the utility’s EV Charge Manager program and potentially save up to $50 per month by charging during lower-cost hours. Actual savings vary based on electricity rates, usage and charging habits.
To qualify, customers must be PG&E residential electric customers living in a single-family or detached home, have permission to install a charger and meet the program’s enrollment requirements. Installation costs are separate. GM’s preferred installer, Electrum, offers standard installation for $1,499, excluding sales tax, with additional charges possible for more complex installations.
Customers must enroll through a participating dealership, have an eligible GM vehicle and maintain an active OnStar service plan. Those already enrolled in certain PG&E or other managed-charging programs are not eligible.
