An EV charger can have quite an impact on your business! It could increase foot traffic and customer loyalty. It could potentially be an added revenue stream for charging customers to use your charger(s). It can also serve to demonstrate a commitment to sustainability by encouraging the use of EVs. For workplaces, this could be an added benefit for employees to charge their vehicle while working. Businesses can also earn recognition as a Green Business Leader when participating in the EV Make-Ready Program. To learn more, they can email PSEG-LI-EVMakeReady@pseg.com with subject line “EVMR Green Business Leader”.

PSEG Long Island has other EV programs that customers may qualify for. Additionally, external incentives outside of PSEG Long Island (local/state/federal) are allowed to be "stacked" on top as long as declare this in your application submission and it does not cover the same items PSEG Long Island is covering.

PSEG Long Island offers higher incentives for projects in DAC so that underserved communities benefit from the clean energy transition, reduced pollution, and economic opportunities. Customers can check if their project falls within a DAC by typing their address on this page: https://www.nyserda.ny.gov/ny/disadvantaged-communities

Yes, you can still participate in our programs. Once you meet all of the qualifications, you can submit your application to add your business to the list for customers to view.

Qualified contractors achieve increased customer visibility by being listed on the PSEG Long Island website, gain opportunities to PSEG Long Island co-branding offerings, and access to the Captures database to monitor the progress of your projects.

Being able to charge your EV with renewable energy sources, and zero tailpipe emissions make EVs environmentally friendly,

• Range can be impacted from a number of factors including driving habits, battery health, weather, and HVAC usage
• Similar to ICE vehicles, overall range in EVs tend to drop in colder weather. Batteries prefer to operate in moderate temperatures, which requires them to use more power to keep them warm or cool. Some EVs will have little change in their range, whereas others could see loses of more than 30%
• Preconditioning your EV before a trip can help mitigate these range loses

PSEG Long Island accounts for EVs, renewable energy sources, energy efficiency, and more into its load forecasts to account for future load growth.

Some recycling companies now accept EV batteries, along with rechargeable batteries from laptops and smartphones to recover critical materials to be reused for future use.

Batteries charge fastest when they are nearly empty (low state-of-charge [SOC]). Other factors may include outside temperature, battery & vehicle age, as well as your vehicle’s power limits. Not all EVs charge at the same speed. Some EVs can only accept 50 kW DC Fast Charging, while some can accept as much as 250 kW. All EVs have what is called a charging curve, which allows EVs to charge fast when you have a low SOC, as you approach 80% SOC, the battery management system may slow down the charging speed to help preserve battery health and increase longevity.

When comparing Level 1, 2 or DC Fast Charging, its important to know that while battery electric vehicles (BEV) can use all charging levels, Plug-In Hybrids (PHEV) typically can only use Level 1 or Level 2 charging. Level 1 chargers allow to use an available household outlet but is slow. Level 2 will typically require some electrical work, but offers faster charging compared to Level 1. DC Fast Charging is great for those that need a quick charge while traveling. 

PSEG Long Island’s EV Make Ready Program offers incentives for the infrastructure needed to power charging stations at multi-family, workplaces, and businesses. Note that the property owner should apply for the program. Learn more about the EV Make Ready Program. 

Our complimentary Fleet Advisory Service helps fleet operators understand how to get started in their fleet electrification journey.

Yes – We allow participants to stack programs as long as it does not cover the infrastructure costs this program intends to cover.

If you qualify for both programs, and each project is not tied to each other, you are allowed to participate in both. 

Through PSEG Long Island's Time of Day (TOD) rates, EV drivers can benefit from discounted rates when they charge their EV during off-peak periods.

PSEG Long Island does not offer incentive or rebates for the purchase of an EV.
