Co-location with two or more CCS capable chargers makes a site eligible for an incentive worth 100% of the make ready incentives up to the maximum allowable incentive.

The PSE&G Clean Energy Future – Electric Vehicle Program, approved by the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU) in January 2021, is designed to facilitate EV adoption across a broad range of customers and segments by investing in the development of smart charging infrastructure.

Investments through the EV program will offset the cost of preparing sites for EV charging, also known as make ready work. This includes both the cost of utility service line upgrades/extensions as well as onsite costs to install panels, switchgears, conduits and wires to the charger stub. Customers are responsible for the cost of EV chargers.

Enrollment is now open for the Residential, Mixed-Use, and DCFC EV Charging Programs. You can apply through our EV Portal.

We require the following documents:

• Copy of itemized electrician/ contractor's invoice - marked Paid - and clearly indicating:
  • Detailed description of work performed
  • Cost of work performed (labor + equipment excluding cost of charger(s) if purchased by your electrician or contractor)
  • Date of work performed
  • Customer name and installation address
  • Electrician/Contractor name, license # and contact information

  ---

• Copy of charger invoice - (Proof of Purchase) including manufacturer, model, and power rating
• Confirmation of your Charger ID, which could be a phot of the charger itself or a screenshot from the app.
• Charger Digital ID:
• 12 Digit Serial Number for ChargePoint
• 28 Digit Juicebox ID for EnelX/Juicebox
• As new devices are added tthe PSEG Approved Charger List, we will update this list with the specific required Charger ID

---

• Copy of Municipal closed permit(s), which includes:
  • Permit number
  • Copy of U.C.C. Form F-222A (Approval for Electrical)
  • If municipality does not require a permit, send confirmation from the town that a Permit was not required

No. PSE&G’s program provides help with the cost to install the chargers, including costs for the service line extension/upgrade and cost to make a site charger ready. The program does not include a charger purchase rebate.

Yes. If the Applicant is participating the PSEG EV Charging Program and a state or federal EV charging infrastructure incentive program simultaneously, the Applicant must notify PSEG and the appropriate program(s) of dual-participation.

Check the following links for additional information on several state and federal incentives:

• Plug-In America
• Pay$ to Plug In Program
• NJ Clean Energy Program

Customers’ applications will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine the maximum allowable incentive based on several factors including the number of chargers installed and the actual costs incurred.

The off-peak charging credit and demand charge rebate will be issued on bill on a monthly basis, as long as EV data is being shared as requested in a timely manner.

In order to allow time for the aggregation of Charging Data and the calculation of the Credit, there will be a one-month lag between charging usage and the Credit issuance. For example, this means that you will receive the credit for your January charging usage on your February Bill. Moreover, the usage will be for the billing cycle and not the calendar month.

All customers are highly encouraged to utilize My Account to facilitate the application process. Alternatively, if a customer doesn’t have a My Account, they can use Account Number/Zip Code. Commercial customers may also apply through their Customer Support Specialist.

All rebates will be visible on both My Account and the customers’ paper bill.

Chargers installed on, or before, 01/27/2021 are not eligible for the Make-Ready Incentives from the EV Program, but are still eligible to receive the Residential Off-Peak Credit. Chargers installed after 01/27/2021 may be eligible for make ready incentives depending on compliance with the program requirements.

The Mixed-Use Commercial sub-program has three eligible customer types:

1. Multi-family dwellings.
2. Government entities.
3. Locations where chargers provide access to the public.

Yes.  All DCFC customers are eligible for the Demand Charge Rebate subject to compliance with the program requirements.

Co-location of a non-Combined Charging System (CCS) capable charger with one CCS capable charger makes a site eligible for an incentive worth 50% of the charger installation and service upgrade incentives up to 50% of the maximum allowable incentive. Co-location with two or more CCS capable chargers makes a site eligible for an incentive worth 100% of the charger installation up to the maximum allowable incentive.

PSE&G will provides semi-annual reports on the CEF-EV deployment, which will include the following information:

• The estimated quantity of work and the quantity completed to date
• The usage and balance remaining of the $5 million DCFC EV C&I Distribution Charge Rebate funding
• The forecasted and actual CEF-EV capital costs to date for the reporting period and for the program-to-date
• The forecasted and actual CEF-EV O&M expenses to date for the reporting period and for the program-to-date

A pole to meter (PTM) upgrade would be required if PSE&G needs to upgrade the service going into your property to provide sufficient power to charger your vehicle. For example, this could include adding an additional transformer to the nearest utility pole to step up the voltage going into the property. We have an established process to have PSE&G check your electrical service to the home to ensure it is adequate for the added load. The Service Upgrade form will be emailed to you after you have been qualified for the program. The form will need to be completed and sent to the appropriate construction inquiry email detailed in the form. This will begin our engineering assessment on what, if any PTM upgrades are needed to our infrastructure to support the upgrades. A New Business Rep will communicate with you a cost estimate associated with any service upgrade. Within this communication, the pole to meter incentive will be factored in to this cost estimate thereby lowering any cost the customer is responsible for.

The form is required for both new service and changes to electric load, which includes the installation of an EV Charger. We need this information to ensure that the equipment in the area is adequate to meet the increased load related to the charger. In most cases, the existing equipment will be adequate without need of a service upgrade. However even if the individual customer’s service meets the new needs, it may be putting undue load on a nearby transformer that could affect service reliability for others.
