If you run a business or nonprofit, you may qualify for state and/or utility incentives to purchase electric vehicles for your organization and/or install charging stations for your fleet or for use by your customers and the public. Learn more below!

The federal incentive for acquiring an EV (30W) expired on September 30, 2025, and the federal incentive for installing a charging station (45W) will expire on June 30, 2026—both due to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. We urge you to take advantage of the federal incentive for charging before it is eliminated.

Massachusetts Utility Programs

National Grid and Eversource both have programs that support the costs of installing charging in several categories. In several of these categories, the utilities have used up all the available funding (as of July 2025). The future of program funding is currently being determined by the Department of Public Utilities (DPU). Here, we explain what the programs did offer and which are currently open vs closed. National Grid is continuing to accept applications for all programs and is managing a waitlist as funding becomes available. The future of program funding is currently being determined by the Department of Public Utilities and will update this page as soon as we know more.

In general, the programs are set up as follows:

• You must choose equipment from a list of qualified equipment;
• You must apply for available and aligned third-party funding, such as MassEVIP, and utility incentives cannot be stacked with third-party funding;
• There are per-port and per-installation caps on costs (see utility websites for details).
• In several cases, the rebate level depends on whether your location is in an environmental justice (EJ) community
