What’s Required

The EV Time-of-Day rate is a voluntary residential rate option, and you may opt out of it at any time.

Customers who wish to take service under the EV Voluntary Time-of-Day Rate hereunder shall not be permitted to opt out of AMI or AMR metering.

Price Guarantee

A no risk, price guarantee is available for a period of one year commencing with the first full billing cycle after the customer registers their plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) with the Company and takes service under this rate. Following the initial one-year period, we’ll compare what you paid under time-of-use rates with what you would have paid under our standard residential rate. If you paid more, we’ll credit your account for the difference

There are limited funds for price guarantees. Once we distribute these funds, the price guarantees will no longer be available
