Gas prices are astronomical and more people are choosing hybrids, electric cars, trucks, and fleet vehicles. With Ameren incentives disappearing in December, now is ideal timing to take advantage of the Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Incentive Program or also referred to as the Charge Ahead EV Program available for all Ameren Missouri business customers. If you own or manage a business property, this is everything you need to know about the program.
EV Utility Rebate from Ameren
Ameren Missouri’s business incentive program is designed to encourage businesses to install EV charging stations, offering up to $500,000 for the successful installation of Level 2 Chargers or DC Fast Chargers (DCFC). Renewables are becoming increasingly more popular with environmental regulations moving to the forefront of the way we do business, and electric vehicles are a big part of that shift.
EV charging stations can be used to power hybrid and electric vehicles, and demonstrates a clear commitment to sustainability and innovation. Whether eco-friendly practices are already established for your business, or you are starting to plan for a more sustainable future, EV charging stations can be a smart investment in a cleaner future. EV chargers combined with solar panels can power your commuters and electric vehicle fleet with renewable energy. Workplaces can attract top talent. Commercial and mixed-use developments can gain advantages over other similar properties.
