Save up to $250 on an EV Charger for Your Home
To advance EV adoption and support clean transportation in New Jersey, the Board of Public Utilities has approved $3 million for in-home EV charging incentives.
Residents can receive up to $250 for the purchase of a Level 2 charger by:
- Buying an eligible EV charger model and
- Selecting an eligible Network Service Provider (NSP)
The application process, eligible charger models and compliant NSPs are explained below.
About EV Charging at Home
Charging at home makes EV ownership easier and more convenient — just plug in overnight and start each day with a full charge. There are two common types of home charging:
Level 1 Charging (Standard Outlet)
Uses a standard 120-volt household outlet and the charging cord that comes with your EV.
This option requires no additional equipment, but charging is slow, typically adding about 3.5-6.5 miles of range per hour.
Level 1 can work well for drivers that travel less than 35 miles a day.
Level 2 Charging (Faster Home Charging)
Uses a 240-volt outlet, similar to those used for appliances like clothes dryers.
Level 2 charges much faster, typically adding 14-35 miles of range per hour, and can fully charge most EVs overnight. Level 2 chargers also offer smart features, such as off-peak charging scheduling and energy-use tracking, which can help lower costs and improve convenience.
Some utilities offer financial incentives for off-peak charging, which a smart charger can help facilitate. For more information, see our EV Savings Hub.
Choosing the Best Option for You
For many households, upgrading to Level 2 charging provides greater flexibility and ensures your vehicle is ready when you need it. However, Level 1 charging can meet the needs of households that drive less than 35 miles per day and want to avoid the costs of purchasing and installing a Level 2 charger. Learn more about EV charging on the Charging Basics page.
EV Charger Incentive Application Process
To qualify for the incentive, you must:
- Purchase and install a new eligible charger at your New Jersey residence.
- Connect your charger to a compliant NSP.
- Apply and provide all required documentation.
Applicants can apply for up to two charger incentives through the program; however, a second incentive is available only if the applicant has moved to a new primary residence.
Required Application Documentation
- Proof of purchase of a Level 2 smart charger.
- A photo of the serial number on the charging equipment.
- Copy of New Jersey driver’s license as proof of residence and a unique identifier.
- Valid New Jersey EV registration showing a residential address in New Jersey.
- Proof that the Level 2 smart charger is actively networked to a Compliant Network Service Provider for network software services and data reporting purposes. Acceptable documents may include screenshots, email confirmations, or an executed network service agreement.

Eligible NSPs for Charger Software
The approved charger list above reflects eligible hardware only. Applicants must also select a Network Service Provider (NSP) from the Compliant NSP List to provide network software services and required data reporting.
NSPs provide the software and network support needed to operate smart EV charging stations. These services typically include an online portal that allows station owners to manage equipment, run remote diagnostics, control access, turn equipment on and off, and report usage data.
All eligible chargers must be actively connected to a Compliant NSP at the time the application is approved.
Additional Incentives
Residents and businesses may also qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $1,000 for EV charger installation. The federal tax credit for in-home EV chargers, known as the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (30C), expires on June 30, 2026.
For information, visit the U.S. Department of Energy website Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Tax Credit.
Residents may also qualify for electric utility incentives to help cover the make-ready costs of an EV charger. For more information, check with your utility.
Information for Charger Manufacturers
New charger models may be considered for program eligibility. To be considered, manufacturers must complete the OEM Charger Submission Form and email it to EV.Programs@bpu.nj.gov.
Information for Network Service Providers
Network Service Providers interested in becoming a Compliant NSP for the Charge Up New Jersey program must meet the program’s technical and data reporting requirements and enter into a Data Sharing Agreement (DSA) with the State.
To begin the process, review the requirements and steps outlined on the Network Service Providers webpage, complete the DSA and send the signed agreement to dsa@energycenter.org.
