NYSERDA seeks to accelerate charging station installations and adoption by offering incentives to entities that purchase and install charging stations at workplaces, multifamily buildings, and certain publicly accessible facilities. This incentive program, the Charge Ready NY 2.0 Program (Program), is planned to launch in early 2023, and will focus on the purchase and installation of AC Level 2 charging stations, which supply power to EVs at 208 to 240 Volts AC, at the above types of locations. It does not cover the purchase and installation of private home-use charging stations.
To facilitate the operation of this program and to help simplify the purchasing process for prospective station owners, NYSERDA is issuing this RFQL to establish a list of Level 2 EV charging equipment and networks that will be eligible for incentives under the Program. Charging station vendors can submit applications to determine eligibility of one or more models of charging equipment. Charging network operators can submit applications to have information about their network, and which charging equipment it is compatible with, listed as part of the program materials. Information about eligible equipment models and network solutions will be listed on the NYSERDA webpage for prospective charging station owners to view. Eligible equipment must meet the program requirements described below.
Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis until December 31, 2025 or until the Program closes. Vendors may submit as many different equipment models or network solutions as they choose.
