01
No rebate this year — what’s left
Golden had offered Level 2 charger rebates for multifamily and income-qualified single-family homes. With the 2026 program budget spent, the dependable savings come from charging off-peak on Xcel’s time-of-use plan and from any Xcel wiring rebate you qualify for.
02
Hillside garages and long runs
Golden homes on slopes sometimes have garages set below or away from the main panel. Longer circuit runs add cost, so we measure the route before quoting.
FAQ
Questions we hear
Is there a Golden EV charger rebate now?
Unclear. The city’s 2026 program closed to new energy applications on reaching its budget, but its page still lists the charger rebate — confirm with the city.
Do I need a permit for a charger in Golden?
Yes, an electrical permit from the City of Golden Building Division.
Can my EV back up my Golden home in a shutoff?
With a bidirectional-capable vehicle, yes. Our whole-home bidirectional systems start around $19,000.
