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), 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 closes the gap. This is arguably the richest multifamily charging stack in the country — and it expires July 15, 2026.

Deadline math: the PSE&G program sunsets July 15, 2026 or when the $166M budget is exhausted. Federal 30C is placed-in-service by June 30, 2026. Any project that has not signed the PSE&G incentive agreement by Q2 2026 is at material risk of missing both.

Tract check, load study, PSE&G portal submission.
Transformer upgrade path, trench routing, panel layout.
Once signed, funds are locked against the July 15, 2026 deadline.

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, leaving the federal 30C credit to knock 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.
