People who purchase electric cars often decide to install electric vehicle charging stations, or EV chargers, in their homes. While there are approximately 5,361 public chargers available in New Jersey, nothing can beat the convenience of plugging in your car in your garage, so it's ready to go when you leave the house. Unfortunately, these chargers can be pricey, 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, Atlantic City Electric 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 "ACE EVsmart Program."
Atlantic City Electric'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 Atlantic City Electric 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.
