AI summary · 7/12/2026

Join the Charge Smart MA program through the app or web portal to earn $50 after 90 days of participation, plus ongoing rebates of $0.05/kWh during summer off-peak hours (9 PM to 1 PM) and $0.03/kWh during non-summer months—averaging $100 annually if you charge your EV during these times. Check the compatible vehicle and charger list to verify your EV or home charger qualifies, then connect your manufacturer account to start earning rebates automatically as you charge.

Customers with compatible EVs and chargers can reduce their charging costs significantly through this performance-based program, making EV ownership more economical for your clients. The program requires customers to download the Charge Smart MA app, verify their National Grid account, and connect their vehicle or charger via manufacturer credentials; you can reference the extensive compatible vehicle list (which includes most major brands and recent model years) when discussing EV charging solutions with residential customers in Massachusetts.

Charge Smart MA is a residential off-peak demand-response program administered by National Grid for Massachusetts customers, offering $50 enrollment incentives (after 90 days) plus per-kWh rebates ($0.05 summer, $0.03 non-summer) to shift EV charging to 9 PM–1 PM windows. The program drives grid efficiency and increased use of carbon-free resources during low-demand periods by leveraging the Charge Smart app for real-time tracking; eligibility requires a compatible EV or Level-2 charger from the approved list and an active Massachusetts National Grid residential electric account.
