Charge at Home and Save: Residential EV Charger Incentives in New Jersey

As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, more homeowners are looking to install Level 2 EV chargers at home for faster, more convenient charging. But here’s the good news, New Jersey residents can get money back for making the switch.

Whether you're a PSE&G or Orange & Rockland customer, there are generous rebate programs and incentives available to help offset the cost of EV charger installation and infrastructure upgrades. At Zimick Electric, we’re here to help you take full advantage of these programs and drive your transition to cleaner transportation.

Why Install a Level 2 EV Charger at Home?
