A USD 10 million, three-year plan to incentivize the deployment of EV chargers at homes, apartments, schools, workplaces and other public charging sites has been approved by the Michigan Public Service Commission.

The Consumers Energy PowerMiDrive initiative will provide up to USD 5,000 in rebates as incentive to third parties to install as many as 200 Level 2 public chargers, and up to USD 70,000 for as many as 24 DC fast-charging stations.
