One of the first questions people have when purchasing an electric car is "How am I going to charge my new car?" While there are approximately 4,393 public chargers available in Connecticut, 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, Eversource CT 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 "Eversource CT Residential EV Chargers Program."
Eversource CT'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 Eversource CT 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.
