Illustrative example. This sample project shows representative numbers based on NuWatt benchmark data and 2026 incentive programs. Your actual project depends on site conditions and incentive availability at the time of install.
Gross $140,400 for 12 networked Level 2 ports at a 250-employee office park. Apply the Section 30C credit at 30% ($42,120) plus MassEVIP Workplace at the $50,000 cap, and the owner is out roughly $48,280 — under $4,100 per port, a four-month build.

Two incentives do most of the work: the federal 30C credit and MassEVIP Workplace. The math lines up because Massachusetts prevailing wage is effectively mandatory, unlocking the 30% PWA rate.

Why the 30% rate, not 6%? Section 30C is only 6% of eligible cost unless you meet prevailing wage and apprenticeship rules. Massachusetts requires prevailing wage on most commercial construction, so that standard is already baked into the bid — PWA is automatic and the credit jumps to 30%.
Networked Level 2 only — MassEVIP Workplace requires networked hardware for reporting.
Load study, parking walk, tract check, employee survey.
Single-line, panel schedule, MassEVIP Workplace application.
City permit pulled; Eversource or National Grid service review.
After MassEVIP approval letter — order 12 ChargePoint units and trenching kit.
Two-crew install, bollards, striping, EV signage.
City final, utility witness test, network provisioning.
Employer dashboard live, employee payment link shared.
We will run your GEOID tract check, stage the MassEVIP application, and book the Eversource or National Grid make-ready call — all before you sign a design contract.
Get a workplace quoteMassachusetts state law requires prevailing wage on most commercial construction over $10,000, so prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PWA) is effectively automatic. That bumps the Section 30C credit from 6% to 30% of eligible property cost — the single biggest line item in the stack.
Fifteen-minute feasibility call covers tract check, MassEVIP readiness, and a realistic net cost.
Last verified by NuWatt Incentive PM on 2026-04-14. Numbers are illustrative — actual incentives depend on site-specific tract eligibility, MassEVIP funding availability, and utility make-ready program caps at the time of install.
