Long Island Power Authority (operated by PSEG Long Island)

PSEG Long Island, which operates LIPA's system, offers optional Time-of-Day rate plans rather than a single dedicated EV rate. The Super Off-Peak plan (Rate 195) prices an overnight window of 10pm to 6am, seven days a week, at about 40 percent below the standard Flat Rate, which is the window most home EV charging falls into. Peak pricing applies weekdays from 3pm to 7pm year-round; nights, weekends, and federal holidays are always off-peak. These plans suit drivers who can charge overnight and shift other large loads off peak.

The residential Level 2 charger rebate is a flat amount that does not require enrolling in a Time-of-Day rate, so customers can claim the rebate and separately choose whether a Time-of-Day plan saves them money. The rebate is $100 for most customers, rising to $400 for customers in Disadvantaged Communities or on the Household Assistance Program. Commercial and multifamily sites use a separate EV Make Ready program that funds charging infrastructure rather than the device itself, so the residential and commercial paths do not overlap.

LIPA is a New York State public authority, not a PSC-regulated investor-owned utility, so its board sets rates and the New York Public Service Commission has only limited oversight. The system is run day to day by PSEG Long Island under a long-term operations contract, which is why every EV program here carries the PSEG Long Island brand even though LIPA owns the system. The service territory is almost entirely suburban Long Island plus the Rockaways, where most homes have driveways or garages, making home Level 2 charging more practical than in dense urban territories.
