CPS Energy (City Public Service Board of San Antonio)

CPS Energy does not offer an EV-specific time-of-use rate or an EV hardware rebate. Current residential rates are published in the Residential Electric rate schedule linked in the sources below. The EV Off-Peak Rewards and EV Smart Rewards programs are bill-credit programs for charging outside weekday peak hours.

CPS Energy's primary EV incentives are two bill-credit programs. EV Off-Peak Rewards pays a one-time $30 bill credit at enrollment plus $5 per month for charging at home off-peak; the peak window is Monday through Friday, 4 pm to 10 pm. CPS Energy says customers without an eligible vehicle or charger can still join it. EV Smart Rewards, which launched with WeaveGrid in June 2026, pays the same $30 enrollment credit plus $10 per month for enrolling in automated charging that WeaveGrid schedules around off-peak hours, but it is limited to qualifying Tesla, Jeep, Toyota, and Lexus EVs and plug-in hybrids (and a few other models) or approved ChargePoint, Emporia, or Wallbox home chargers. Both are behavioral incentives, not hardware rebates: there is no cash back for purchasing or installing an EVSE. CPS Energy lists no commercial or multifamily EVSE rebate program.

CPS Energy is a community-owned municipal utility overseen by a board of trustees appointed by the San Antonio City Council, not an investor-owned utility subject to the Texas Public Utility Commission. San Antonio is inside ERCOT's geographic footprint but is served by a municipal utility that is exempt from retail electric deregulation, meaning there are no competing retail providers and customers cannot shop for a better rate. Texas does not have a statewide right-to-charge law protecting EV owners in HOA or condominium communities, so whether a homeowner can install an EVSE in a shared building depends on the association's governing documents, not state statute.
