1. What to Know

   MassEVIP Workplace & Fleet 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 Workplace & Fleet Charging Program provides incentives for employers and fleet operators to acquire and install Level 1 and Level 2 EV charging stations. Applicants with 15 or more employees in non-residential places of business are eligible.

   MassDEP provides up to 60 percent of the funding to a maximum of $50,000 per street address for hardware and installation costs.

   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.

   Note: If your project is not for the purchase/installation of charging stations at a workplace or for a fleet operation, scroll to Step 5 below to Learn About Other MassEVIP Programs for which you might be eligible.
