How the Charge Ready NY 2.0 Rebate Works

 

Getting Started

Applicants for the Charge Ready NY 2.0 rebate may be the equipment owner or the installer of the charging equipment on behalf of the equipment owner. To qualify for the rebate, applicants must select eligible charging station and network service provider.

Note that rebate amounts vary by property type, whether it’s located in a disadvantaged community, and whether sites participate in efforts to promote electric vehicle ownership

Pre-Installation Applications

If you are applying beforeyou install your charging station (pre-installation application), you must submit initial documents to NYSERDA. Upon approval, NYSERDA will reserve funds for your project, and you will have 180 days to install your stations and submit final documentation. Documents required for pre-installation approval include:

Post-Installation Applications

If you have installed your charging station within the last 90 days and the installation date is after the program effective date, you can apply and submit the following documentation in one submission.

Once the charging stations are completed, all required documentation has been submitted, reviewed, and approved, the applicant will receive the incentive from NYSERDA. Charge Ready NY 2.0 rebates can be combined with the New York State tax credit for installing charging stations. The tax credit is applied after deducting the funding you receive from NYSERDA. Equipment owners may be eligible for federal tax credits for installing charging stations. Information can be found here (opens in new window).

You can find all program rules in the Charge Ready NY 2.0 Program Implementation Manual [PDF]. Other documents, forms, and resources can be found under Program Resources.

Where Can I Install My Charging Station?

Any public, private, or not-for-profit entity is eligible. Charging stations must be installed at one of the following types of locations:

Additional site requirements are described in the Program Implementation Manual [PDF].

Ineligible Locations

Charging stations at multifamily properties with fewer than ten connected housing units, including single-family homes, or at workplaces with fewer than twenty employees are NOT eligible. Projects that have received funding for charging equipment from any of the below programs are ineligible for Charge Ready NY 2.0:

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 effective date and must remain in operation for at least five years.

The Equipment Owner must set up access to usage data through the Network Services Vendor for the duration of the five years and made available to NYSERDA. All charging station data provided to NYSERDA through these charging stations will be the joint property of NYSERDA and the network provider. NYSERDA shall have the right to use, duplicate, or disclose the charging station data, in whole or in part, in any manner and for any purpose whatsoever, and to permit others to do so. Network service vendors, NYSERDA, or the program administrator will be able to provide instructions for establishing NYSERDA as an administrator with data access. NYSERDA may, on an annual basis, survey equipment owners to obtain information about operating Charging Equipment and any problems encountered including, but not limited to, parts availability, warranty service, maintenance, and repair issues.

Inspection of Completed Projects

NYSERDA maintains the integrity of its program through an independent Standards and Quality Assurance team, which manages the Quality Assurance (QA) system for the program. The QA program has several components, including a review of qualifications and credentials, paperwork audits, establishment of program standards, and comprehensive field inspections. Field inspections include verification of the application scope of work, accuracy of the site conditions, comparison of installation to submitted design, application meets applicable code, and the overall delivered quality and operation of the electric vehicle charging equipment.

NYSERDA may select any completed project at any point in the future for a field inspection based on customer complaints, warranty-related issues, or otherwise. All equipment owners and installers are encouraged to perform in-house quality control of their projects.
