EV Charging in New York

1.) What is the Charge Ready New York 2.0 Program?

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) is offering incentives to public, private, and not-for-profit organizations that install Level 2 EV charging stations at workplaces, multifamily or public facilities that are owned and operated by municipal or state government entities.

2.) What are the incentive amounts available?

NYSERDA will provide incentives on a per-port basis, based on location type and whether or not it is located within a Disadvantaged Community (DAC):

• $4,000 per charging port installed at a public facility within a DAC,

• $2,000 per charging port installed at a workplace or MUD location

• $2,500 per charging port installed at a workplace or MUD location within a DAC.

*Please note: an additional $500 per port may be awarded for eligible charging equipment installed at a workplace or MUD location if located within a DAC. Disadvantaged communities can be found on NYSERDA’s website.

3.) What are the program requirements?

Charging station owners must install charging stations that have been approved by NYSERDA and are listed on the Charge Ready NY 2.0 Eligible Charging Equipment and Networks list. Charging stations must be installed at an eligible New York State location that meets the requirements in the section above and in the Implementation Manual. Charging stations must be installed after the Program's Effective Date and must remain in operation for at least five years.
