Program Overview
The Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Program is a statewide program that provides incentives for residential and commercial light-duty EV charging equipment, as well as accompanying rate design offerings, to optimize charging behavior. Launched in January 2022, this nine-year program is administered by Connecticut’s regulated electric companies, Eversource Energy and The United Illuminating (UI) Company.   


The EV Charging Program aims to support Connecticut’s commitment to deploy 125,000 - 150,000 EVs by 2025; seamlessly integrate EVs and EV-related technologies into Connecticut’s electric grid; realize the electric system benefits, as well as the economic, health, and environmental benefits that EVs provide; achieve an equitable transition to EV deployment across all communities in Connecticut; and support PURA’s objectives of the Framework for an Equitable Modern Grid. Overall, the program aims to deploy over 65,000 residential and commercial EV charging ports by 2030.
