You can learn all about the program and apply through the portal on our program website. If you have additional questions, please email us to set up a call to discuss the program.

It will take approximately two weeks for you to receive your eligibility letter. This letter is the first step in the program process and states whether the project meets the program's eligibility requirements and which incentive tier applies to the project. It is not intended to be a commitment to fund your project, which happens when you sign your Program Agreement.

Most service rulings are returned in approximately 30-40 calendar days if all documentation is submitted and complete Rulings may take longer if the project is very complex or involves a high load request.

Eligible equipment includes material and labor related to installing or upgrading infrastructure to bring power to the charging station on both the utility and customer side of the meter. Please note that chargers are not eligible.

No.

Soft costs associated with installing eligible equipment are eligible. Con Edison will require documentation of these costs upon project completion.

There is no limit for L2 plugs, but there is a site-specific maximum of 10 plugs for DCFC sites. Fast charging sites with more than 10 plugs are allowed only if developing the site does not cause the energy company to incur new business costs greater than those that would have been incurred to develop a site with a maximum demand of 2 MW. This will be assessed after Con Edison’s engineering analysis. It should be noted that there is a program minimum of 2 plugs to be able to apply for the program.

Yes.

The incentive determination depends on a variety of factors which vary from site to site, including whether the project includes utility side costs, the number of plugs, the site configuration, site accessibility, if it is located in a Disadvantaged Community Zone, and the type of plugs. The program also has incentive caps for program eligible costs, including both customer and potential utility costs. The Con Edison team can discuss project specifics and support interested participants in pursuing a project.

Yes, there are incentive caps for program eligible costs, including customer and potential utility costs. To find out the current cost caps, please email our program team.
