Initially launched in 2020 to support New York State’s growing demand for EV charging, National Grid’s EV Make-Ready Program provides essential incentives for businesses and organizations across Upstate New York to fund the installation of EV charging stations. With approximately 80% (~$33 million) out of the total funds (~$41 million) already reserved, the remaining 20% (~$8 million) is expected to be claimed quickly in early 2025. This is a critical opportunity for those considering the installation of Level 2 (L2) EV stations in National Grid territory.
Now is the Time to Act: Whether you are looking to install one Level 2 EV charging station or 50+, if you are contemplating an EV installation, now is the time to take action. As the demand for electric vehicles continues to rise, having accessible charging infrastructure is crucial for businesses looking to attract eco-conscious customers and support their employees.
The funding available through this program can significantly offset installation costs, making it an ideal moment to invest in EV charging solutions. Important deadlines are approaching so don’t delay.
Types of Charging Stations Supported: The EV Make-Ready Program supports various types of charging stations, including:
Level 2 EV Charging Stations – Funds available for light duty EV installations of all sizes
DC Fast Charging Stations – Some stations may be eligible to receive an increased incentive up to $60/kW for a short period of time
