One of the first questions people have when purchasing an electric car is "How am I going to charge my new car?" While New York ranks #2 in the US for the number of publicly available EV Chargers, the convenience of being able to charge your electric car at home is hard to beat. These chargers can cost quite a bit though.
Luckily, across the US, there are rebates, grants, and incentives that might be available to help reduce your overall cost for installing an EV charger in your home.
Yes, PSEG Long Island has a rebate program that may provide an incentive if you install a charger for an electric vehicle in a residential application. The program is called "PSE&G LI Smart Charger Rebate Program."
PSEG Long Island's program is currently open with an expected end date of December 31st 2025. However, keep in mind; the program may close sooner if its budget is depleted before the deadline.
The PSEG Long Island rebate program covers Level 2 EV chargers. A Level 2 EV charger lets you charge up your electric vehicle much around five times faster. These chargers use 240V, or the type of electrical outlet you see for an electric dryer or stovetop. They add between 12 and 60 miles to your battery each hour.

Purchasing an EV charger for home-use usually costs between $300 - $1,000. On top of that, Level 2 and Level 3 chargers typically require professional installation, which can double the expense for the homeowner.
Some rebate programs will only provide rebates for specific make and models of chargers. Other programs will allow any reputable brand/model, as long as it meets the technical requirements (such as being a Level 2 charger). Make sure to read all the program documentation before making any commitment to purchasing a charger.
