Indiana Michigan Power

Indiana Michigan Power, an AEP subsidiary, serves approximately 614,556 customers across northeast Indiana and southwest Michigan. The utility's EV programs now differ by state: Michigan customers can enroll in a residential TOU rate (about 50% off-peak discount, 11pm-6am) paired with a $500 charger rebate, while Indiana customers use Charge Sync Rewards, a managed-charging bill credit program (up to $96 per year for charging 11pm-6am) that replaced the former RS-PEV TOU pilot rider and does not include a charger rebate. Commercial and multifamily customers in Indiana can receive per-port rebates of $1,700 to $8,100 depending on charger type and location; small commercial customers get a separate off-peak rate discount of up to 35%.

Residential EVSE rebates

Indiana Residential EV Charger Rebate (RS-PEV2 Enrollment)

No longer offered (confirmed as of 2026-09-01)

This rebate was tied to the RS-PEV time-of-use pilot rider. Indiana Michigan Power's current Indiana residential EV program, Charge Sync Rewards, does not include an equipment or wiring rebate; it offers only a bill credit for off-peak charging. Customers still enrolled in the former RS-PEV tariff can move to the new program at no cost.

Managed-charging programs

Charge Sync Rewards (Indiana)

A WeaveGrid-enabled smart charging program for Indiana residential customers that replaced the RS-PEV time-of-use pilot rider. Customers connect an eligible EV or Level 2 charger; the utility can shift charging based on grid conditions, and customers can opt out of any charging session.

$8 monthly bill credit (up to $96 per year) for charging between 11pm and 6am. Charge Sync Plus offers automatic smart scheduling for compatible vehicles and chargers.

Indiana Michigan Power now runs two different kinds of residential EV programs, one for each state in its territory. Michigan customers can enroll in a time-of-use rate that discounts off-peak charging about 50%, from 16.424 cents to 8.424 cents per kWh, during the 11pm-to-6am window, and the program requires a separate sub-meter to isolate EV charging consumption. Indiana no longer has a discounted TOU rate for residential EV charging: the former RS-PEV pilot rider has been replaced by Charge Sync Rewards, a bill-credit program that connects an EV or Level 2 charger through WeaveGrid and pays a bill credit for charging between 11pm and 6am. Customers still enrolled in the older Indiana tariff can move to the new program at no cost.

Michigan's TOU enrollment comes with a $500 rebate after the Level 2 charger electrical work is done and the submeter is installed; small commercial accounts qualify as well as residential. Indiana's Charge Sync Rewards program does not include an equipment rebate; the $500 Indiana residential charger rebate that was tied to the former TOU pilot is no longer offered. Indiana commercial and multifamily customers can still get charging-equipment rebates: $1,700 per port for Level 2 stations at workplaces, fleets, or multifamily properties, $3,000 per port for Level 2 stations in Justice40 or IRS Section 30C qualifying areas, and $8,100 per port for public DC fast chargers in qualifying areas. Separately, Indiana small commercial customers can get an off-peak rate discount of up to 35%.

Indiana Michigan Power operates as an investor-owned utility regulated by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission for its Indiana operations and by the Michigan Public Service Commission for its Michigan operations, so the two states differ in program design and regulatory history. Indiana's EV program has moved from a discounted TOU rate to Charge Sync Rewards, a WeaveGrid-enabled managed charging program, while Michigan customers remain on a rate-based TOU discount under a separate MPSC-approved tariff.
