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 2026. 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.
