Next steps   for Apply for MassEVIP Public Access Charging Incentives

  1. What to Know

    MassEVIP Public Access Charging is one of several MassDEP rolling grant programs aimed at making electric vehicles (EVs) and EV charging stations more widely available across Massachusetts. 

    The MassEVIP Public Access Charging Program provides incentives for property owners or managers with publicly accessible parking to acquire and install Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging stations. Non-residential locations with publicly accessible parking are eligible.

    • Government-owned locations: MassDEP funds up to 100 percent of the hardware and installation costs to a maximum of $50,000 per street address.
    • All other locations: The agency funds up to 80 percent of the hardware and installation costs to a maximum of $50,000 per street address.

    Level 1 and Level 2 AC (not DC) electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) sold and installed in Massachusetts must comply with the Energy Star energy efficiency standards and be listed in the State Appliance Standards Database (SASD). If at any point you want to change your current approved equipment, be sure that your new equipment is also listed in the SASD.

    See the program requirements and frequently asked questions below to learn more.
