Ameren Missouri accepting applications for Charge Ahead program until Sept. 30

Ameren Missouri is taking applications for its Charge Ahead program until Sept. 30 and has roughly $600,000 remaining to share the costs with customers planning to install electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at multifamily locations or for public use.

“We’ve seen tremendous success with our Charge Ahead program over the years,” said Becky Whitman, business development manager at Ameren Missouri. “Participating customers have seen it as a win-win for them because these charging stations can bring in additional revenue and dwell times for their businesses or attract new tenants to their rental properties.”

As of Sept. 3, more than 350 businesses have participated in the program since 2020, and more than 900 EV charging ports have been installed throughout the company’s service territory in Missouri. Currently, there are more than 2,000 EV charging ports found throughout Missouri.

Additionally, more than 240 ports are planned for installation by the end of the year, the company said.

Incentives from Ameren Missouri include up to 50 percent off the total project cost, or $5,000 for Level 2 ports and $20,000 for Level 3 ports (also known as DC Fast Chargers).

The maximum number of qualifying ports at each premise will vary based on the business type.

By leveraging these incentives alongside federal tax credits, such as the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit, eligible customers can save up to 80 percent off project costs, according to Ameren Missouri.
