Smart in Automotive Smart In Your World afslaw.com Key Contact: Michael P. McMahan Partner, NY 212.484.3982 Michael.McMahan@afslaw.com When the customer arrives at the dealership with a Prequalification ID, the dealer representative will do the following: 1. In the Charge Up New Jersey dealership dashboard, start a new application and select “Prequalification ID” instead of the driver’s license. 2. Enter the Prequalification ID that the customer provided. If valid, you will get a confirmation message that the ID is eligible. Note: Dealerships must verify the Prequalification ID before the purchase or lease is executed. Dealerships are responsible for determining the correct incentive amount and are prohibited from “clawing back” the incentive post‑purchase due to a miscalculation. 3. After verifying the Prequalification ID, start the application and accept the Terms and Conditions for the application to be “claimed” by the dealership. The dealer may save the application progress in the submission portal and resume the purchase or lease execution, applying the full $4,000 to the customer’s purchase or lease agreement. 4. In the dealership dashboard, the application will appear twice, once for the standard $2,000 Charge Up New Jersey incentive, and once for the increased (additional) $2,000 Charge Up+ incentive. Note: The application number (NJ-XXXXXXX) for the prequalified customer will remain the same throughout the entire prequalification process. 5. Continue through the application in the standard Charge Up New Jersey submission process, then upload the following documentation to complete and submit the application: a. Purchase/Lease Agreement (with the full $4,000 incentive applied) b. Signed Terms and Conditions (with the Prequalification ID and $4,000 incentive listed) c.
