New York State's Charge Ready program
New York State’s Charge Ready 2.0 program, announced in July 2023, is offering incentives of up to $4,000 per charger. This program can help to offset the cost of electric vehicle chargers themselves, which are not covered through Central Hudson’s existing Make Ready program. Act soon, as funds for the program are limited. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until December 31, 2025 or until funds run out.
