Massachusetts Utility Programs

National Grid and Eversource have programs that support the costs of installing charging in several categories. Program rules and rebates were recently updated by an order issued by the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) in October 2025. Eversource has published revised program guidelines and National Grid will publish updated program guidelines soon (according to its website).

In general, the programs are set up as follows:

• You must choose equipment from a list of qualified equipment;
• You are not required to apply for available and aligned third-party funding, such as MassEVIP; however, you must disclose any third-party funding you receive. Publicly accessible sites may stack utility funding with third-party funding. For non-publicly-accessible sites, the utility award will be reduced by the amount of any awarded third-party funding.
• Total funding received cannot exceed 100% of the category (such as Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), or the rebate for the category will be reduced)
• 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
• Customers who previously participated in utility EV charging programs may not be eligible for EVSE rebates

Public Sites and Workplace Charging

National Grid will soon accept new applications for public sites and workplace charging. Eversource’s budget is fully committed but is accepting new applications that will be processed as new funding becomes available.

• Public sites and workplaces located in environmental justice communities (EJCs) are eligible
• Installed chargers must be listed on the Massachusetts tab of the EPRI Vetted Product List
• Charging stations must be networked and networks must be an approved provider
• For Eversource, all EVSE rebates are limited to a maximum of $100,000 per site

Multi-Unit Dwellings (5+ residential units)

National Grid is accepting applications; Eversource is too, for Level 2 installations only.

• National Grid and Eversource cover up to 100% of infrastructure upgrades for Level 2 charging
• Charger rebates depend on which criteria of the state definition of “environmental justice” the location of the charger meets
• Installed chargers must be listed on the Massachusetts tab of the EPRI Vetted Product List
• Property owners of multi-unit dwellings (MUDs) with 20+ units may participate in National Grid and Eversource’s MUD EV-Ready Site Plans program

Fleets

National Grid is accepting applications. Eversource will soon open an incentive program for medium-and-heavy duty (MDHD) fleets. We will update this document when Eversource makes its program details available.

• National Grid offers rebates for charger hardware for fleet customers depending on which criteria of the state definition of “environmental justice” the location of the charger meets
