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?

    Georgia Power. I have a crazy low rate overnight on paper ($0.017). Add in the $0.06 fees and it’s still a great deal. In exchange, we pay something like $0.35 during summer peak (2:00 - 7:00), but we have solar so I rarely pay that at all.

    All said, two EVs raise our bill around $50 a month.
