Charge Smart MA Off-Peak Charging Program
Usage-based off-peak rewards; often ~$100/year
Rewards for eligible off-peak EV charging; this is a separate behavior-based incentive, not a reduction in installation cost.
Who may qualify: National Grid Massachusetts customers with compatible EV or charger and qualifying enrollment.
- Charging rewards depend on actual metered qualifying off-peak energy.
- Some participation or rebate pathways may exclude the separate enrollment bonus.
- Confirm the latest rate and program terms before calculating possible savings.
What to check before buying
- Confirm the name of the electric delivery utility on the bill, not just the ZIP code or retail energy supplier.
- Check eligible hardware and whether wiring, contractor labor, permitting or electrical panel upgrades are covered.
- Confirm any preapproval requirement, income criteria, contractor-network restriction, funding window and stacking policy.
- Ask the utility for a dated written eligibility determination whenever possible.
