NEW JERSEY EV CHARGER REBATES

As more drivers in New Jersey make the switch to electric vehicles, state and federal rebate programs are making it easier and more affordable than ever to install EV chargers at home. At SunnyMac, we simplify the transition by offering expert EV charger installation and guidance on how to take full advantage of these valuable incentives. Whether you live in Newark, Trenton, or anywhere in between, we’re here to help you save money while driving clean.

Charge Up New Jersey Program

The Charge Up New Jersey program provides a $250 rebate to residents who install a Level 2 EV charging station at their primary residence. This is a straightforward and accessible incentive designed to encourage more EV adoption across the state.

Program Highlights

  • Eligibility: must be a New Jersey resident installing a new Level 2 charger for personal use at your home.
  • Conditions: installations must take place on or after the program’s official launch date.
  • Availability: rebates are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted.
  • Note: only new EV chargers qualify for the rebate. Used or refurbished units are not eligible.

State EV Rebate: Incentive for Electric Vehicle Purchases

In addition to charger-specific programs, New Jersey offers up to $5,000 in rebates toward the purchase of qualifying electric vehicles (EVs), including battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).

While this rebate primarily targets EV purchases, many homeowners pair it with the installation of home EV chargers to maximize convenience and cost savings.

Key Details

  • Eligibility: open to individuals purchasing eligible EVs in New Jersey.
  • Flexibility: this rebate can be used in tandem with home charger installations to enhance your overall energy savings strategy.

Power Your EV with Solar

Looking for even greater long-term savings and sustainability? SunnyMac installs home solar systems that can power your EV charger directly from the sun. Combining solar panels with EV charging not only lowers your utility bills, it also reduces your carbon footprint.

Homeowners who go solar can:

  • Charge their vehicles with renewable energy.
  • Become less dependent on rising utility rates.
  • Potentially qualify for additional solar-related incentives.

Federal EV Charger Tax Credit

On top of state rebates, homeowners can benefit from a federal tax credit covering 30% of the cost of EV charger hardware and installation up to $1,000.

To claim the credit:

  • File IRS Form 8911 with your federal tax return.
  • Provide documentation of the purchase and installation costs.
  • Check whether your address qualifies using the 30C Tax Credit Eligibility Locator.

Keep in mind that this credit is non-refundable, meaning it reduces your tax liability but does not provide a cash refund.
