Please provide your landlord with the information about the program, as the landlord typically pays for the installation of the 240v outlet(s) and/or a Level 2 EV charger. The party that pays for the installation work should also be the party to submit the rebate application. Please note: in cases where the tenant is the account holder, and the landlord/property manager pays for the project, then they will need to include a Third Party Payee Form (available in the online application) in order to receive the incentive.

Yes, you can get a rebate if you want to provide a 240v outlet(s) for your current or future tenants. Please note that if an EV charger is not installed as part of the project due to no current tenants having an EV, the requirement to enroll in the Off Peak Charging Rebate Program is waived.

In cases where the property owner has paid for eligible improvements and is not the account holder, a completed Third Party Payee form is required as part of the program documents when submitting the rebate application. This document is available in the online Rebate application.  

Customers living in single-family homes are required to enroll in the Off-Peak Charging Program to receive a rebate from the Residential EV Charging Infrastructure Program for a 240-volt wiring upgrade or, for R-2 customers only, the purchase of a charging station.

Please enroll in the Off-Peak Charging Program before installing a 240-volt outlet or purchasing a charging station because your project is only eligible for a rebate from the Residential EV Charging Infrastructure Program if your vehicle or charger is on the “Compatible Vehicle and Charger List”.  And National Grid cannot guarantee when, or if your vehicle or charger will be added to this list. 

Please check back often because the Off-Peak Charging Program list is regularly being updated as new vehicles and chargers are added or “Join Waitlist” at the bottom of the Off-Peak Charging Program page after confirming your vehicle or charger are not listed.  

Please note that landlords and property owners of residential 2-4 unit buildings are not required to enroll in the Off-Peak Charging Program.

For more information regarding the Off-Peak Charging Program, the Charge Smart app and the “Compatible Vehicle and Charger List”: chargesmartma@ev.energy 

Please check with the Off-Peak Charging Rebate Program at chargesmartma@ev.energy or visit Charge Smart MA.

Please contact chargesmartma@ev.energy for support with the Charge Smart app.

Payment for complete and accurate applications are typically issued within 60-90 days.
