Article from Polygon with an interviews from Indie devs on playstation dev support. Indie Pub Fund program includes a year free access to a dev kit. If you exceed a year the fees are backend payable on publishing of the game.
It's going to be a rental fee anyways since Sony's been focused on loaners rather than selling dev kits. Article doesn't say how much that is though.

How long does it usually take to build an Indie title?
