State Electric Companies to Help Facilitate Electric Vehicle Charging Program – NBC Connecticut

In preparation for extra electrical automobiles within the state, Connecticut is partnering with the state’s electrical utilities for an Electrical Automobile (EV) Charging Program.

In partnership with Connecticut’s Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA), Eversource Power (Eversource) and The United Illuminating Firm (UI) will facilitate implementing electrical car infrastructure throughout the state for all residential and business clients.

“The launch of the statewide EV Charging Program comes at a pivotal time in the transition to electrified transportation options, and it’s critically necessary that we guarantee clients perceive and might entry the advantages this system gives,” PURA Chairman Marissa Gillett mentioned in a information launch. 

Residential customers of Eversource and UI are eligible for several rebates, including up to $500 for a new Level 2 “smart charger,” and up to $500 for home wiring upgrades if needed. 

To shift EV charging to off-peak instances, clients might also be eligible to obtain month-to-month incentives for his or her participation in Demand Response Occasions throughout the Demand Response season between June and September.

Additional incentives are available for both multi-unit dwellings, commercial and industrial customers, and public fast-charging stations.

Eversource and UI will likely be internet hosting a number of webinars to clarify this system’s element and to reply questions from residents. Register for the first webinar here.
