So I emailed ChargeUp and got this response based on my question.
Posting both question and answer for transparency.
QUESTION
I just have a quick question that I bet has been asked a lot and that is preordering an EV for production prior to phase 2 beginning.
Will the point of sale reduction be a part of cost if the car is preordered this month but delivered after phase 2 begins?
It states in the FAQ - delivery date / leasing but nothing about preorders and preorder deposits.
Any clarity on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
ANSWER
Thank you for your email and interest in Charge Up New Jersey. The Point-of-Sale Program, which will provide an incentive at the time of purchase, is expected to launch at eligible dealerships and showrooms with renewed funding at the start of the State's next Fiscal Year in summer 2021 pending Board approval of this timing and approval of the FY2022 Budget.
The order and purchase/lease date will need to be on or after July 1, 2021 to be eligible for the point-of-sale incentive through participating dealerships. Orders before July 1st will not be considered as eligible. Please note that program details such as incentive amounts, eligible vehicles and MSRP cap are still subject to change and have not been finalized yet.
Please continue to check our website for further updates.

Looks like we'll have to reorder them 7/1/21. Bad news fellas.
