A 45-unit garden-style complex deploys networked Level 2 before the July 15, 2026 PSE&G sunset — utility make-ready carries most of the cost.

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 roughly $100,000 for eight networked Level 2 ports at a 45-unit Newark garden complex. Stack the PSE&G utility make-ready ($11,100) plus $6,700 per port customer-side ($53,600) plus the Section 30C credit at 30% ($30,000 — for chargers placed in service by June 30, 2026, when the credit expired), and the owner is out about $5,300 — roughly $660 per port, built in five months.

PSE&G pays for most of the physical install; Section 30C closed the gap for chargers placed in service by June 30, 2026. This is arguably the richest multifamily charging stack in the country — and the PSE&G program sunsets July 15, 2026.

Deadline math: the PSE&G program sunsets July 15, 2026 or when the $166M budget is exhausted. The federal 30C window has already closed — the credit expired for property placed in service after June 30, 2026, and only stations energized by that date can claim it on Form 8911. New projects are racing the PSE&G sunset alone.

Once signed, funds are locked against the July 15, 2026 deadline.
Municipal permit, Autel + billing platform procurement.
PSE&G crews install transformer, primary, and secondary to the meter stack.
Our crew lands customer-side conduit, pedestals, 8 chargers, bollards, signage.
PSE&G witness test; SWTCH or Xeal app live for residents.
We will run the tract check, file the PSE&G or JCP&L application, and line up a billing platform — all before you sign a design contract. July 15, 2026 is the moving target.
Get a multifamily quotePSE&G EV Charging Program pays 100% of utility-side make-ready plus up to $6,700 per customer-side port (up to 10 ports). That covers almost the entire physical install; in this sample the federal 30C credit — available for chargers placed in service by June 30, 2026, when it expired — knocked down the remaining hardware and minor site work.
Fifteen-minute feasibility call covers tract check, PSE&G portal filing, and a realistic net cost.
Last verified by NuWatt Incentive PM on 2026-04-14. Numbers are illustrative — actual incentives depend on tract eligibility, PSE&G or JCP&L budget remaining, and the July 15, 2026 program sunset.
