Seattle City Light’s Make-Ready Infrastructure Incentive is currently on hold as we reevaluate program details and explore the potential impact of Washington’s new Clean Fuel Standard. We are not accepting new applications at this time. We will be relaunching the incentive later this year. For updates, join our email list.

Make-ready infrastructure incentives provide additional financial and technical assistance to Tier 2 fleets for behind-the-meter and to-the-meter make-ready infrastructure. Limited funding will be available. Only projects that require new or upgraded City Light service will be eligible.

For detailed eligibility requirements, please request the full Program Manual from the Seattle City Light Fleet Electrification Program team at eFleets@seattle.gov. Eligibility requirements are subject to change. See brief list of eligibility requirements below:

1. Be a Seattle City Light commercial (non-residential) account holder or customer.
2. Have a vehicle fleet that contains at least one vehicle.
3. Provide a written intent to purchase or lease at least one electric vehicle to be charged using the equipment installed through this program. (Proof of additional vehicles may be requested depending on the number of stations installed.)
4. Customers must begin the City Light EV charging rebate application process before charging projects have been constructed.
5. Chargers must be installed on private property.
6. Customers must purchase and install equipment that meets defined charger requirements, including the ability to track station-specific energy usage (see Program Manual for full list).
7. New and substantial retrofit construction projects may only use rebates towards installations that are beyond the minimum required by local/state EV readiness codes (see Program Manual for additional restrictions).
8. Only project costs related to the installation of applicable chargers are eligible for coverage. This includes labor, wiring, conduit, circuitry, permits, and materials. Requirements are subject to change.
9. For non-road projects, only chargers for these types of vehicles/equipment are eligible for rebates:
   • Forklift Chargers (Rapid or Conventional)
   • Electric Standby Truck Refrigeration Units (E/S TRU) Infrastructure
   • Rail Yard Switchers and Rail Car Movers (Traditional Level 2 & DCFC Infrastructure)
   • Yard Trucks (Traditional Level 2 & DCFC Infrastructure)
10. City Light incentives will not exceed 100% of total project costs and will be based on the remaining amount after considering other funding sources.
11. Site caps for charger rebate incentives apply on a calendar year basis and reset every year.
