PSO EV Charger Rebate in Tulsa: How to Get Your $200
PSO customers in the Tulsa metro can get $200 back on a qualifying Level 2 EV charger. Here's exactly how it works, what qualifies, and how to apply.
PSO (Public Service Company of Oklahoma) serves the Tulsa metro area and eastern Oklahoma. As part of their Power Forward program, residential PSO customers who purchase and install a qualifying ENERGY STAR certified Level 2 smart EV charger can receive a $200 rebate directly from PSO.
First: Are You a PSO Customer?
Check your electricity bill. If it says "Public Service Company of Oklahoma" or "PSO" you're in PSO territory. If it says "OG&E," "Indian Electric Cooperative," or another provider, PSO's rebate doesn't apply, but your utility may have its own EV incentive program.
PSO serves: Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Claremore, Bartlesville, Muskogee, and much of eastern Oklahoma. Most of the Tulsa metro is PSO territory.
What Qualifies for the Rebate
To qualify, you need all three of these:
- You are a PSO residential customer, confirm via your electricity bill
- The charger is ENERGY STAR certified, not all Level 2 chargers are; verify before purchasing
- The charger is a Level 2 "smart" charger, must have WiFi connectivity and scheduling capability

The following are commonly cited as qualifying models, but always verify against PSO's current eligible product list at powerforwardwithpso.com before purchasing, as the list can change:

Step-by-Step: How to Claim the PSO Rebate
-
1
Confirm you are a PSO residential customer
Check your electricity bill or log into your PSO account online. The rebate is for residential accounts only, not commercial or business accounts.
-
2
Choose a qualifying ENERGY STAR smart charger
Check PSO's current eligible product list at powerforwardwithpso.com before purchasing. ChargePoint Home Flex is the most commonly recommended qualifying option.
-
3
Purchase the charger, note the date
The 45-day submission window starts from your purchase date, not the installation date. Buy the charger, keep your receipt, and note the date immediately.
-
4
Have the charger professionally installed
A licensed electrician installs the charger and pulls the required City of Tulsa permit. Get an itemized receipt from the electrician showing the charger and labor separately.
-
5
Submit the rebate application within 45 days of purchase
Go to powerforwardwithpso.com and submit the rebate form. You'll need: your PSO account number, the charger purchase receipt, proof of installation, and the charger's model number confirming ENERGY STAR certification.
-
6
PSO processes and sends your $200
Processing typically takes 4–8 weeks. PSO will mail a check or apply a bill credit depending on their current process. Confirm the payment method when you submit.
Stacking the PSO Rebate with Other Savings
The PSO rebate can be combined with other available savings:
Federal Tax Credit (Section 30C)
The federal EV charger tax credit expired for installs after June 30, 2026. If your installation occurred before that date and your address was in a qualifying census tract, you may still be able to claim it on your 2026 federal tax return using IRS Form 8911. The PSO rebate and the federal credit are separate programs, claiming one does not affect the other. Full tax credit guide →
PSO EV Time-of-Use Rate
Beyond the rebate, PSO offers a time-of-use rate plan for EV owners that charges significantly lower rates during overnight off-peak hours. Setting your smart charger to charge between 11pm and 6am can reduce your monthly charging cost by 30–50%. If you're getting a smart charger anyway for the rebate, set up the PSO EV rate plan at the same time.
What Happens If You Miss the 45-Day Window
If you miss the submission deadline, the rebate is forfeited. PSO does not make exceptions for late submissions. There's no appeal process. The only way to avoid this is to submit promptly after purchase, not after installation.
Set a reminder the day you buy the charger. 45 days goes faster than you expect, especially if installation takes a couple of weeks to schedule.
Frequently Asked Questions
This varies by PSO's current program terms, they've offered both at different times. Confirm the payment method when you submit your rebate application at powerforwardwithpso.com.
PSO does not require professional installation for the rebate, but Oklahoma law requires a permit for Level 2 installation, which requires a licensed electrician. So practically speaking, professional installation is required.
A rebate from a utility company may need to be reported as income in some circumstances. Consult your tax preparer if you're unsure, amounts like $200 are often below reporting thresholds, but it depends on your situation.
Most of Broken Arrow and Owasso are in PSO territory. Check your electricity bill to confirm. If it says PSO, you qualify for the rebate regardless of whether you're in Tulsa city limits or a surrounding suburb.
