New Jersey is one of the best states in the country for EV adoption — and the rebate programs reflect that. If you're thinking about installing a home Level 2 charger, here's what you need to know about costs, incentives, and the installation process.
NJ EV Charger Rebates (2026)
The Charge Up New Jersey program through NJ Clean Energy offers rebates for home EV charger installation. PSE&G and JCPL also have their own incentive programs for customers upgrading their service for EV charging. Amounts change, so always check njcleanenergy.com for current figures — but rebates of $250–$750 on equipment are common. We help our customers identify and document all available incentives.
Level 1 vs. Level 2: What's the Difference?
Level 1 is a standard 120V outlet — the kind you plug a lamp into. Most EVs add about 4–5 miles of range per hour on Level 1. Fine for hybrids or low-mileage drivers, but slow for a full EV.
Level 2 is a 240V circuit — the same voltage as your dryer or range. It typically adds 20–30 miles of range per hour, meaning a full charge overnight. This is what most EV owners want, and what we install.
What the Installation Involves
We run a dedicated 40–50A, 240V circuit from your electrical panel to your garage or parking area. If your panel has capacity, this is straightforward. If you're at or near your panel's limit (common with 100A services), we'll evaluate whether you need a panel upgrade first. We pull all permits, handle PSE&G / JCPL coordination if needed, and attend the inspection.
Compatible With All Major EV Brands
Tesla, Ford, GM, Rivian, Hyundai, BMW — all Level 2 chargers use the same J1772 connector standard (Tesla adapters are included with new Teslas). We install ChargePoint, Tesla Wall Connector, JuiceBox, Enel X, and customer-supplied units.
