CSE is statewide administrator of New York’s electric vehicle (EV) charging incentive program, Charge Ready NY, that funds installations at publicly and privately accessible facilities.
The program offers incentives of $3,000 per port to public and private organizations to install Level 2 EV chargers at public parking sites, workplaces and multi-unit dwellings. An additional $1,000 per port is available for charging equipment installed within disadvantaged communities.
To help develop New York’s EV charging infrastructure, CSE also provides ongoing support and services to station owners, contractors and charging equipment and network services vendors. The program is managed by the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).
