Operators deploying EV charging across National Grid's Massachusetts service territory can now build on Epic Charging and qualify for the utility's Commercial and Fleet EV Charging Program, which supports Level 2 and DC fast charging across Public, Workplace, Multi-Unit Dwelling, and Fleet sites.
Menlo Park, CA. June 2026. – Epic Charging, a U.S.-based EV charging software provider, has been included in the National Grid Qualified Network Service Provider List for Massachusetts. The listing, published in National Grid program document CM9896 (March 2026), makes Epic Charging an approved network provider for customers applying to the National Grid Massachusetts Commercial and Fleet EV Charging Program.
The program is one of the most active utility-led EV infrastructure incentive programs in the Northeast and a key lever for accelerating commercial and fleet charging deployments across Massachusetts. It was updated by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities on October 17, 2025, modernizing how rebates and infrastructure incentives are awarded to commercial customers.
What the Program Covers
The National Grid Commercial and Fleet EV Charging Program provides infrastructure incentives, EVSE rebates, and networking stipends for new EV charging deployments across National Grid's Massachusetts service territory. The program is organized into three application categories:
- Public and Workplace
- Multi-Unit Dwelling (MUD)
- Fleet
Both Level 2 and DC fast charging installations are supported. To be eligible, applicants must be commercial electric customers of National Grid, the project must be located within National Grid's Massachusetts service territory, and the site must be served on a commercial electric rate.
Per the program's current structure, the Level 2 EVSE rebate cap is $3,900 per port, and Public Level 2 infrastructure incentives can reach up to $5,700 per port. Enhanced incentives are available for projects located in designated Environmental Justice Communities, with EVSE rebate tiers reaching up to 100 percent for qualifying sites. Public and Workplace projects require a minimum of four Level 2 ports or 100 kW of DC fast charging capacity to qualify, while Fleet projects are exempt from the DCFC minimum.
All Level 2 and DCFC hardware deployed under the program must be listed on the EPRI Vetted Product List. Level 2 EVSEs must also be OCPP-compliant, with Multi-Unit Dwelling installations exempt from the OCPP requirement. All Level 1 and Level 2 chargers installed in Massachusetts must additionally be listed in the Massachusetts State Appliance Database (SASD).
What This Means for Operators in Massachusetts
For charge point operators, fleet managers, multifamily property owners, and commercial site hosts deploying in National Grid's Massachusetts service territory, this listing means projects can be scoped, built, and operated on Epic Charging without compromising rebate eligibility.
Network provider selection is required at the time of application. Once a network is chosen and the project is approved, switching providers mid-deployment typically requires reapplication and resets the timeline. Aligning the software platform decision with the application strategy from the start avoids retroactive changes, reapplications, and platform migrations later in the project lifecycle.
Applications are submitted through National Grid's online portal at nationalgridcleanenergy.my.site.com/tradepartners and are processed in the order received.
Built for Multifamily, Fleet, and Commercial Deployments
Epic Charging's platform is specifically designed to support the deployment categories prioritized by National Grid's program. The CPMS handles driver payments, access control, load management, OCPP connectivity, real-time monitoring, reporting, and renewals, all backed by U.S.-based support.
For Multi-Unit Dwellings, where shared parking, resident billing, and access management are common operational challenges, Epic Charging provides flexible configuration tools designed for both networked and unassigned spaces. For Fleet operators, Epic Charging delivers depot management, telematics integration, and reporting at scale, supporting both light and medium-duty operations. For Public and Workplace sites, the platform supports revenue management and uptime monitoring at the level operators need to run a reliable, public-facing network.
Beyond the rebate program itself, commercial customers with greater than 50 kW of AC EV charging load may also be eligible to participate in National Grid's ConnectedSolutions demand response program. Epic Charging's load management capabilities and OpenADR certification position the platform to support these grid services use cases without additional integration work.
