The short answer: New Jersey has at least one resident or make-ready amount in the sources below. Read the audience label on every other program. A public or multifamily grant is not a garage rebate. The federal Section 30C credit does not apply to a charger placed in service after June 30, 2026.

What to do with this list
Apply on the program site, not from this page. Ask the electrician for an itemized quote before you buy the charger. Whether the panel can take the circuit is a separate question, and that guide does not publish an upgrade price.

FAQ: home charger rebates in New Jersey
Is there a rebate for a home Level 2 charger in New Jersey?
New Jersey has at least one resident or make-ready amount in the sources below. Read the audience label on every other program. A public or multifamily grant is not a garage rebate. The federal Section 30C credit does not apply to a charger placed in service after June 30, 2026.
Can a new home Level 2 installation in New Jersey still claim the federal 30C credit?
P.L. 119-21, commonly known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, changed the termination date for the section 30C alternative fuel vehicle refueling property credit from December 31, 2032, to June 30, 2026. You can't claim the credit for alternative fuel vehicle refueling property placed in service after June 30, 2026. For property of a character not subject to depreciation and which is placed in service at your main home (personal use property), the credit is 30% of the cost of the property, limited to $1,000 for each single item of qualified alternative fuel vehicle refueling property. Property placed in service after 2022 will not be treated as qualified alternative fuel vehicle refueling property unless it was placed in service in an eligible census tract. An EV charger installed at an individual taxpayer's principal residence will be placed in service when it is operational.
Where do I confirm the amount before I buy?
Use the program link on this page. Funding can be exhausted before the AFDC record comes down. A utility row that names a rebate does not state the dollars. The panel question is separate, on the panel guide, and the installation-cost page does not invent a statewide installation price.
