Description
The Charge Ready NY 2.0 program is a New York State incentive that subsidizes the installation of Level 2 electric‑vehicle charging stations at qualifying workplace or multi‑unit‑dwelling sites. Eligible equipment owners (or their installers) may receive $3,000 per charging port, or $4,000 per port in a Disadvantaged Community, with additional bonuses for larger installations. Applicants must be NY‑registered entities, submit a pre‑installation application, complete installation within 180 days of approval, and provide extensive documentation (permits, agreements, photos, data‑reporting setup) within 90 days of installation. The program requires a five‑year operation period, data reporting, and compliance with site‑signage and safety standards. Funding is limited to $12 million for base incentives plus $3 million for bonus incentives, and applications are accepted on a first‑come‑first‑served basis until the deadline or exhaustion of funds.
• Incentive: $3,000/port ( $4,000 in DAC ) plus optional $1,000 for fleet‑reserved ports.
• Eligible sites: workplaces and multi‑unit dwellings in NY, with minimum 4 ports and maximum 40 ports per site.
• Required documentation: permits, Site Host Agreement, Equipment Owner Agreement, Installer Agreement, equipment certifications, photos, network‑service proof, and EVSE notification to the Dept. of Agriculture & Markets.
• Timeline: pre‑approval → install ≤ 180 days → post‑installation paperwork ≤ 90 days → payment within 30 days of approval.
