Make Ready Incentive Program
PSEG Long Island EV Make Ready Program
Program Changes Effective September 1, 2023
The following program changes are now in effect and apply to all projects that are new or not previously pre-approved. For previously pre-approved projects, close out requirements will be in effect immediately.
Incentive Models
For DCFC projects, on top of the Lease Model being available for all Applicants, which covers both Customer-Side Make Ready (CSMR) and Utility-Side Make Ready (USMR), we will offer the option of USMR Coverage Only. Under this model, the EV Make Ready Program would cover only the USMR costs for a project and the Applicant would be responsible for all CSMR costs.
Incentive Caps for Level 2
Any Level 2 projects that propose the minimum number of two (2) ports, will only be eligible for the maximum incentive of $20,000 or less. For projects that have 3 or more ports, the maximum incentive will be $30,000 or less. Existing applications that have been pre-approved, will be honored at the previous incentive caps and rules. All other applications currently incomplete or not yet submitted will be subject to these new incentive caps.
- Two ports; $20,000 or less
- Three or more ports; $30,000 or less
Incentive Caps for DCFC
There have been no changes made to DCFC incentive caps.
