One of the biggest hurdles new electric car buyers face is how they will they top up their electric car between drives. 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, PSEG 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 Electric Vehicle Charging Program."
The PSEG 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.

An EV charger can cost $300 - $1,000 depending on the specific model and features you want. Unless you have a spare 240-volt outlet, you'll also have to pay for professional installation from an electrician. The installation cost will vary for each home, but a good rule of thumb is that it costs at least at much as the charger.
Some of these programs will only provide rebates for specific make and models of chargers. Make sure to read all the program documentation before making any commitment to purchasing a charger.
