Mine was approved about a month after submission this time, with the check supposedly being mailed within 30 days (which was accurate the last time).

23

Turns out they need additional documentation from me/it was initially rejected. Never got notification for rejection

Will be sending in requested info

Submitted beginning of August, check arrived this week.

submitted and approved 1st week of July. Got the check 2 weeks ago. Looks like they send them in batches.

3 months and a few days for me but it cleared so no harm done !

whew appreciate the update

I expect them to continue to send the checks out although it will take time to process. This is a 10 year programā€¦ if they were to defund after 1 year that would not make very much sense lol.

Just (finally) got approved for chargeup rebate after sending in a copy of my lease

Meant bonusdrive. Got chargeup few weeks ago

Received confirmation that my check was mailed today. Leased on 9/12. I believe that time line is around the same as the first time for me, maybe slightly quicker.

The rumors are true, the CHARGE UP NJ Rebate program is coming to an end for vehicles leased/purchased after 12/15/2020. The money is being reappropriated for COVID-19 Relief.

Sign your contract on your Ioniq EV, Bolt, or Tesla within the next 2 days if you donā€™t want to lose out on up to $5k of incentive money.

Canā€™t find a Bolt in stock? I have over 100 Ioniq Limiteds on my thread that are ready to find homes in the next 3 days so NJ rebates can claim their rebate. Iā€™ll send these Ioniqs to NY dealers via dealer trade after the expiry.

If you were on the fence about an EV in NJ, this is final call!

Can you post something to back that up?

Iā€™m going to be the source of the information on this one. A written communication may not go out until, say, Monday. So youā€™ll have to take my word for it today. I will post an excerpt of the written communication when I can, so consider it a well-informed rumor for now.

It would be a bit of a catch-22, though, if the information about the program expiration isnā€™t widely communicated until after itā€™s too late to get a car. That is why Iā€™m here to post this warning.

If you choose to not believe it, and are shopping for a EV in NJ, donā€™t come crying to me next week for a car when theyā€™re all $118/month+ more expensive, or inventory has been shifted to a different state.

This change happened abruptly and I have definitely conducted my own due diligence before making such claims. Iā€™m the last person that wants to be delivering this news.

I turn to my own post history, customers served, and intimate knowledge and passion of EV Sales in NJ to establish some credibility. I built my business on bringing credible information on programs, such as CHARGE UP NJ and vehicles, such as HYUNDAI IONIQ EV, to the table. And then delivering on exactly what I said was going to happen

This is an interesting development if true, but not totally unsurprising. There were rumors back in September that something like this might happen. The timing is a little unusual though, you would think that they would wait until the end of the year or fiscal year. The 2021 budget also has 20 million earmarked for the program as recently as late September.

Me too, brother.

Iā€™m wondering if this is going to have some other bad stuff attached to it if it goes through. NY and PA may have forced the Governorā€™s hand here with the indoor dining bans again. They have mostly been in lockstep on these measures and Murphy is going to absolutely destroy a bunch of businesses and families right before the holidays if he decides to parrot their responses here.

For what itā€™s worth I had a Chevy sales manager confirm to me today that tomorrow will be the last day the rebate money will be available until at least July.

I agree with NJ. If I have to choose between funding unemployment or free bolts, would rather do unemployment.

Same here, except he had no clue if or when it will be back
