Someone mentioned their utility was offering an incentivizing pilot program, cutting their electric rate by 50% for after hours charging. I don’t know how common/difficult/affordable this is for utilities, but as a prospective new ev owner I’d love if my utility did this. For any of you lucky enough to have such a program, did you have to install a dedicated meter, what’s it like and how’s it going?
We’ve had this for years in Whitby Ontario(just outside of Toronto). There’s 3 different levels throughout the day, between $0.15/kWh down to $.074/kWh. You have the choice to switch to equalized billing as well. They did change our meter out but as long as you organize when you’ll do laundry, charging EV, etc it’s great.
