It is irrelevant since JNSH does not sell EV's...

More relevant would be to add the Illinois EV Infrastructure Rebate Program which reopens shortly:

ELECTRIC VEHICLES
The Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity (DCEO) provides incentives for electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure and industry development.

EV Infrastructure Rebate Program

This program provides rebates toward the purchase and installation of EV charging stations. Eligible applicants for this rebate program include units of government, businesses, educational institutions, non-profits, and individual residents.

This program is currently closed. DCEO anticipates reopening the program in the Fall of 2015. Program guidelines and application packets will be posted on this webpage when the program re-opens. To receive an announcement when the application is available, please send an email to [e-mail].

The following types of stations have historically been eligible for this program:

Hardwired Level 1 (120 V AC) models with SAE J1772 cord connectors;
Level 2 (208-240V AC) models with SAE J1772 cord connectors; and
DC fast charging (DCFC) models with SAE J1772 combo and/or CHAdeMO cord connectors.
Tesla charging stations do not have a SAE J1772 cord connection and are not eligible for a rebate. Installation of a 120V or 240V outlet on its own (i.e., without an eligible charging station) is not eligible for a rebate.

Rebates have historically covered 50% of equipment and installation (materials and labor) costs up to the following caps:

$3,750 per networked single station (stations that have a cellular or internet connection);
$3,000 per non-networked single station;
$7,500 per networked dual station;
$6,000 per non-networked dual station;
$15,000 per networked DCFC station; and
$12,500 per non-networked DCFC station.
The maximum possible total rebate award is $50,000.

Important Information about Charging Station Installations

If your installation is completed on or after January 1, 2014, your installation must be performed by an installer that is certified by the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) in order to qualify for the EV Infrastructure Rebate Program. Self-installations are not eligible for funding through the EV Infrastructure Rebate Program.

Individuals and entities installing EV charging stations on their property are required by the Illinois Commerce Commission to notify their electric utility both before and after their EV charging station installation, in accordance with the ICC’s “Certification for the Installation, Maintenance or Repair of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations” (83 Ill. Adm. Code. Ch 1. Subch c. Part 469).

If you are an Ameren Illinois customer: Call Ameren’s Construction Hotline at [phone] or submit an online request for a free capacity assessment of Ameren’s service wires to your home.
If you are a ComEd customer: Register your electric vehicle online or call 866-NEW-ELEC (866-639-3532) and select Option 2 to register your electric vehicle over the phone.

EV Industry Development Grants

DCEO provides grants toward projects that support electric vehicle and electric vehicle supply equipment production through the development or expansion of related businesses, including component manufacturers. During the last grant cycle, proposed projects were eligible for grants covering 50 percent of eligible project costs up to a maximum grant award of $1,000,000.

This program is currently closed. Program guidelines and application packets will be posted on this webpage when the program re-opens. To receive an announcement when the application is available, please send an email to [e-mail].

Illinois has provided early leadership in supporting the adoption and use of (EVs) throughout the state.

DCEO chairs the Illinois Electric Vehicle Advisory Council, which was formed when Governor Quinn signed the Electric Vehicle Act (Public Act 97-0089) in July 2011. In December 2011, the Council submitted a final report to Governor Quinn and the Illinois General Assembly with recommendations on promoting the adoption and use of EVs in Illinois. The Council continues to meet to implement the report recommendations and guide ongoing development of the state’s EV programs and policies. Click here for meeting agendas and minutes.
The Illinois General Assembly appropriated up to $10 million in capital funding for DCEO to award EV manufacturing and infrastructure grants and loans.
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) offers rebates toward EV purchases. Visit the Illinois Alternate Fuels Rebate Program website for more information.
The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) launched a Plug-in Electric Vehicle Initiative (PEV Initiative) to explore regulatory issues related to EV deployment.
Through its partnership with the City of Chicago and the Chicago Area Clean Cities Coalition, Illinois has installed one of the most comprehensive public charging station networks in the United States. Charging station locations are searchable on the ChargePoint Network.
Collaborative efforts among local officials, business leaders, and educational institutions to create EVTown in Bloomington-Normal and to pass an EV infrastructure ordinance in Kane County serve as models for local EV initiatives throughout the nation.
These initiatives provide a strong foundation from which Illinois can pursue the full spectrum of opportunities that EVs offer:

Consumer advantages of electricity as a relatively low-cost “fuel” and EVs’ less frequent maintenance requirements
Environmental benefits from reduced emissions
Economic development and job creation from the growth of EV-related technologies and services
Decreased reliance on imported petroleum
Opportunities to integrate and leverage renewable energy resources and smart grid deployment
