Worked example: one Maine home
Take one home EV charger bought this year. These are example inputs, not typical prices. Each program's own rule gives the amounts below; where one program has several tiers only the largest one counts, separate programs add up, and a percentage offer with no cost entered is shown at its ceiling.
| Utility | Not income-qualified | Moderate income | Low income |
|---|---|---|---|
| Any Maine utility (Efficiency Maine is statewide) | $400 | $400 | $400 |
For a household that is not income-qualified, the example comes to $400, made of $400 from Efficiency Maine charger. None of the open offers has a separate income-qualified amount, so every household gets the same figure.
Who can use these Maine offers
Every household in Maine covered by Efficiency Maine can apply; the offers are not limited to one utility's territory. None of these program pages lists an end date, and each can change or stop while funds last.
