We collect your EV charging data

Your connected EV or home charger's telematics tracks your charging data, including times you charge and energy consumed, as you charge your EV. This data is sent in real-time to the SmartCharge New York platform. Charging done in the Con Edison and O&R service areas will be used to calculate your cash incentives. Learn more about how we collect and use your data.

Track your charging and incentives

The charging you do is tracked and displayed on your personalized dashboard along with your cash incentives earned. You can login, view, and download your charging data in the SmartCharge New York portal.  Learn more about the program incentives.

When are incentives calculated and paid?

Incentives are calculated monthly and paid the following month to SmartCharge New York participants that have charged at least once during that month. You will need to set up a PayPal or Venmo account to be sent your cash incentives. Learn more about incentive payments.
