Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G)

PSE&G's new RS-TOU-3P time-of-use rate launches June 1, 2026 as an opt-in whole-house rate with three pricing periods: on-peak weekday evenings from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., an overnight off-peak window, and mid-peak for everything else. The rate replaces the older off-peak charging credit that PSE&G closed to new enrollment in January 2026. Final approved cents-per-kWh values sit in PSE&G's tariff filings with the NJ Board of Public Utilities; EV owners who can shift charging to the overnight off-peak window are the clearest beneficiaries of the new structure.

PSE&G's residential make-ready credit covers up to $1,500 of behind-the-meter wiring for a qualifying ENERGY STAR Level 2 smart charger, plus up to $5,000 if a pole-to-meter service upgrade is required; PSE&G does not pay for the charger itself. The new TOU rate stacks with the make-ready credit. Commercial customers on the GLP or LPL-S rate classes qualify for up to $7,500 per L2 port (up to four ports per site) and $25,000 per public DC fast charging port on the public DCFC program. PSE&G's program terms may cap combined funding from state and federal sources; confirm current stacking rules with PSE&G before assuming a specific cap.

New Jersey is a deregulated supply state, meaning PSE&G delivers electricity but customers can choose a third-party supplier for the generation portion of their bill. The TOU rate and EV make-ready credits apply on the delivery side regardless of supplier. Separately, the NJ Board of Public Utilities runs the statewide Charge Up New Jersey in-home charger incentive, which PSE&G customers can stack with the PSE&G make-ready credit subject to PSE&G's combined-funding rules; check the current Charge Up New Jersey amount on the BPU site before applying.
