Costs on the Home Charging EV2-A rate are lowest from 12 a.m. to 3 p.m., every day, including weekends and holidays when demand is lowest, making this the best time to charge your vehicle. Electricity is more expensive during Peak (4 - 9 p.m.) and Partial-Peak (3 - 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. - 12 a.m.) periods.
Customers who may benefit
This rate plan works for customers who have an electric vehicle (EV) and/or battery storage and can charge during off-peak hours of 12 a.m. to 3 p.m., in addition to shifting other household energy usage to off-peak hours.
Description
This rate plan applies to both home energy use and electric vehicle and/or battery charging.
It offers lower prices during times of day when energy supply costs are less expensive.
Things to consider
Avoid charging during peak hours. To maximize savings, consider shifting other household energy usage to less expensive, low demand hours (see chart, above).
Customers with high energy usage (over 800% baseline allowance) over the last 12 months are not eligible for this rate.
