Electric Vehicle Charging Station Rebates

There are three incentives to help commercial buildings—businesses, non-profits, and government—install EV infrastructure:

  1. Utility “Electric Vehicle Charger Make Ready Program” - incentives that cover 50-100% (!) of the cost of the electric infrastructure needed to bring power to the charging port.

  2. A federal tax credit that covers up to 30% of the cost of the installation. Nonprofits can explore elective pay for this credit.

  3. Charge Ready NY 2.0 (PON 5367) - offers rebates to public, private and not-for-profit organizations that install Level 2 EV charging stations at workplaces, multi-unit dwellings (multifamily properties) or hotels & motels.

    • Workplaces, Multifamily and Hotel Properties: $3,000 per charging port.

    • Properties located in a DAC are eligible for an additional rebate of $1,000 per charging port

    • Bonus rebates are available for sites that complete additional actions to promote EV adoption

EV tax credit

The Inflation Reduction Act - federal tax credit that covers 15% of the cost of a plug-in hybrid EV or 30% of the coast of a battery-electric or fuel cell EV. For more information, see the IRS website. Nonprofits can explore elective pay for this credit.
