Charge up NJ has a rebate of $250 toward the cost of the device. Covers specific chargers (not Tesla).   
https://chargeup.njcleanenergy.com/home-ev-charger-incentive

JCPL has a rebate of up to $1,500 toward electrician's cost. Covers specific chargers (not Tesla)
https://enrollmentportal.honeywell.com/customerlookup   
https://www.firstenergycorp.com/content/dam/customer/get-help/files/PEV/nj-ev/jcpl-ev-customer-program-guide.pdf

Also the above JCPL application allows for a reduction in electricity rate for charging done from 8PM-8AM of .02 per KWH ( I pay for example .15 per KWH so it reduces it to .13 per KWH)

The IRS has a credit for 30% of the cost of a charger/install (or $1,000 whichever is less)
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8911.pdf
https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-8911

The Chargepoint is a good option to go with (get the NACS one if you have a NACS port) and it's eligible for both rebates.

https://a.co/d/j2lLWZI
What about wallbox, $500 at Costco?
You can only apply for NJ incentives once installation is complete?

They can't survive with just the (relatively few) people in Howell. Major competition to Gourmet Glatt, can't wait for some good price wars between them.

It’s 6 minutes from many parts of Jackson (brookwood, Oakley hills, valley) - so it’s not just Howell that they’re going to attract

If they are truly competitive, would not be surprised if this would be the final straw to compel NPGS Jackson (to put it mildly) to improve the shopping experience.

Ahh makes sense. He's a former classmate of mine. I haven't heard/spoke to him since Mesivta. He's a good guy.

How much did it cost and for what?
