JCP&L Residential Make-Ready Program - Level 2 (240V) Electric Vehicle Charger Installation

Level 2 electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) provides charging through a 240V AC plug. Level 2 adds about 8 to 24 miles of range to a vehicle per hour of charging time, making it far more convenient than standard 120V AC charging, which adds about 3 to 5 miles per hour of charging. Additionally, Level 2 charging is a more energy-efficient method of charging compared to Level 1.
Through JCP&L’s EV Driven Program, you may be eligible for total incentives of up to $7,000 for the make-ready work to prepare for the installation of a qualified Level 2 charger for your home.
- Level 2 chargers are four to six times faster than using a standard home outlet.

- Rebate-eligible units come with timers and Wi-Fi connectivity.

The Inflation Reduction Act introduces a number of significant changes to the tax credit for new electric vehicles (section 30D). These changes will phase in over time. Effective immediately after enactment of the Inflation Reduction Act (after August 16, 2022), the tax credit is only available for qualifying electric vehicles for which final assembly occurred in North America. Further changes to the eligibility rules began in 2023.
Overall, the reforms in the Inflation Reduction Act mean that the tax credit for electric vehicles will evolve considerably over the coming months and years. New Requirements Effective April 18, see links below for details.
Separately, starting in 2023, the Inflation Reduction Act also establishes tax credits for pre-owned clean vehicles (section 25E) and for commercial clean vehicles (section 45W). Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service will release more information on all the clean vehicle credits in the coming months.
