EV Charging for Properties: Multifamily, Workplace and Hospitality
Make-ready design, load management, charger selection, incentive paperwork and a charger service plan for apartment buildings, condos, workplaces and hotels in Nassau and Suffolk.
Residents and tenants are asking where they can charge. Property owners want to say yes without rebuilding the electrical service. No Shorts Electric designs and installs EV charging for multifamily, workplace and hospitality properties across Long Island, handles the utility make-ready and state incentive applications that pay for much of the infrastructure, and services the chargers after they are in.
How a property project runs
- Site and load assessment: existing service capacity, panel space, parking layout and where the first and future chargers go.
- Make-ready design that uses load management so more chargers fit on the service you already have.
- Charger selection for the use case: networked Level 2 units for residents and tenants, with access control and billing where the property wants it.
- PSEG Long Island Make Ready and NYSERDA Charge Ready NY applications prepared and submitted before construction, since both require approval first.
- Installation, permits, inspection and utility coordination.
- A service plan for the chargers: firmware, connectors, cables and repairs.
Incentives
In 2026 the utility make-ready program covers a large share of the infrastructure cost for qualifying Level 2 ports, and the state program adds a per-port incentive with a bonus in disadvantaged communities. The figures change and have caps, so we confirm the current amounts for your site before you decide. See the incentives guide for how the programs work.

Questions managers ask
Does our building have enough power?
Often yes, with load management. We measure the existing service and design around it before anyone talks about an upgrade.
Who handles the incentive applications?
We do. Both programs require pre-approval, so the applications go in before construction.
Can residents be billed for charging?
Yes. Networked chargers support access control and per-session billing; the property chooses the model.
