Initially launched in 2020 to support New York State’s growing demand for EV charging infrastructure needs, 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, Power Management expects the remaining 20% (~$8 million) will 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 before funding is exhausted.
Now is the Time to Act: Whether you are looking to install one Level 2 EV charging station or 50+, if you are only starting to contemplate an EV installation, now is the time to act. 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 while incentives and tax credits are most lucrative.
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 in a wide variety of applications.
DC Fast Charging Stations – Some installations may be eligible to receive a 13% increased incentive, or an additional $60/kW for a short period of time.
