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

Level 2 electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) provides charging through a 240V AC plug.

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.
