As part of a first of its kind electrification investment in Illinois, ComEd launched nearly $90 million in funding available for business and public sector customers to apply for rebates which are used to help cover the upfront costs of electrifying their fleets and to prime sites for the addition of EV charging infrastructure. More than half of the rebate funding is reserved to help boost EV investment in equity-eligible communities, and with higher levels of rebates reserved for customers located in, driving, or doing at least 50% of its business in low-income and equity-eligible communities.
The program is offering large amounts of funding to cover the costs of EV fleet purchases, which are critical for helping meet climate targets and improving air quality across northern Illinois communities. Rebates range from $5,000-$180,000 depending on the type of vehicle.
The program additionally offers rebates to upgrade make-ready infrastructure to prepare for Level 2 chargers and/or Direct Current Fast Chargers. ComEd can cover up to $8,000 per port for L2 chargers (with a 10-port maximum) or up to $1,000* per kW on Direct Current Fast Chargers (DCFCs) with a minimum of 50kW (maximum rebate of $500,000.)
Eligible customers include:

The 11th Annual BBQ for the Troops fundraiser is taking place again this summer. Each July, Chicagoland new-car dealers rally together for this grassroots initiative that directly supports the USO. Since 2013, dealers have raised over $1.1M for local troops and their families.
The fundraisers ranged from small lunches, to full community festivals featuring patriotic ceremonies, classic car shows, live music, family games and more.
More than 10 years ago, the CATA and area new-car dealers partnered with the USO to create the Barbecue for the Troops campaign to raise money for our local troops and their families. What started as a few hot dogs and tin can has now grown into an annual festival which brings in thousands of dollars. In fact, the program’s lifetime total is over $1.1 million raised for the USO!
As a participating dealer, the CATA will provide you with a starter kit of marketing materials you will need to get started including outdoor signage, posters and a social media toolkit. The CATA also runs an area-wide marketing and advertising campaign which includes a listing of all participating dealers and is an excellent opportunity for media exposure. The 2023 event had 85+ participating new-car dealers who hosted events that ranged from online fundraisers, to full-blown community summer festivals that included 21 gun salute, live music, bouncy houses, and, of course, a delicious barbecue meal. As we know, dealers have deep roots in their communities and by participating in the Barbecue for the Troops program, dealers can further connect with their customers and contribute to a great cause.
There are a few ways you can participate in this year's fundraising campaign. Pick one (or all!) of the way that make the most sense for your dealership. All levels of participation will be recognized in various marketing efforts.
However you choose to participate, we appreciate you being a part of this important initiative and raising crucial funds for the USO.
