Tucson Electric Power Company

TEP no longer offers an EV-specific residential rate. Its Residential Super Off-Peak Electric Vehicle plan was retired in March 2024. EV owners now use TEP's standard residential Time-of-Use plan, which prices weekday on-peak hours highest (3 to 7 p.m. in summer, May through September; 6 to 9 a.m. and 6 to 9 p.m. in winter, October through April) and treats all other weekday hours, weekends, and major holidays as off-peak. Check TEP's current Time-of-Use schedule before enrolling.

The residential charger rebate is tied to the rate. To claim 75 percent of a networked Level 2 charger's cost, up to $300, a customer must be on a Time-of-Use plan and stay on it for at least two years, and up to two rebates are allowed per home. The commercial Smart EV Charging Program offered per-port rebates to businesses, multifamily sites, and nonprofits rather than crediting a residential bill, and is currently closed to applications.

TEP is one of three large Arizona electric providers and should not be confused with Arizona Public Service or Salt River Project, which run different programs. As an investor-owned utility, TEP's rates and EV programs are set through Arizona Corporation Commission dockets, so amounts and plan availability can change with rate cases. The commercial Smart EV Charging Program had a defined funding window and its application period has closed. Confirm with TEP whether a new cycle has opened before planning a commercial project around it.
