Electric Vehicle Charging Incentives
SmartCharge New York is open for enrollment.
Be a part of the community of electric-vehicle drivers who are earning cash incentives for charging at off-peak times.*
Charging data is automatically collected from your vehicle’s onboard telematics or smart charging station. The charge data is then used to calculate your earnings.
As a SmartCharge New York participant, you can earn the following incentives by charging your vehicle in the Orange and Rockland service area:
- $25 Enrollment Incentive – Earned after 3 months of charging in the respective service territory (per user account). Charging does not need to occur in consecutive months.
- $35 per month Avoided Summer Peak - Earned per vehicle or charging station for avoiding charging on weekdays between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m., June 1 through September 30
- $0.07 per kWh Off-Peak Charging Incentive - Earned for charging between 12 midnight and 8 a.m., every day, year-round.
Charging *off-peak helps reduce stress on the energy grid, making service more reliable for everyone.
