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.

Multi-Unit Dwellings, or buildings with 5 or more residential units, can now lease EV chargers from their electric utilities without any upfront capital costs. Reach out to your electric utility for more information.

Light-duty fleets can now participate in a managed charging program through their electric utility and receive additional monthly financial incentives. Reach out to your electric utility for more information.

UI customers can participate in the residential managed charging program through their electric vehicle’s existing telematics or their networked Level 2 charger; use of advanced metering infrastructure to participate in managed charging is no longer supported.
