POWERREADY Electric Vehicle Program

We’re offering incentives that will offset up to 100% of the electric infrastructure costs associated with installing light-duty chargers for electric vehicles.

Electric Vehicle Charging at Orange & Rockland 

We’re accelerating the move toward electric vehicle ownership by connecting hundreds of new public and customer-owned charging stations. By increasing the number of chargers on our streets, we’re making it easier for New Yorkers to own and drive a plug-in hybrid or electric car in our service area. POWERREADY Program (formerly known as “Make-Ready”) provides incentives that will offset the electric infrastructure costs associated with installing chargers for electric vehicles.

POWERREADY Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Program

You may be eligible for incentives when you install level 2 and/or direct current fast charging chargers for light-duty vehicles. These incentives can lower infrastructure costs associated with preparing your site for electric vehicle chargers and receiving electric service from our grid.

Applicants who meet certain program conditions can get incentives that cover up to 100% of the energy company and customer costs of installing level 2 or direct current fast-charging stations in designated Disadvantaged Communities in New York.
