Do you own or are thinking of buying an electric vehicle? Among the wide array of ownership benefits, including lower maintenance costs, tax credits, and the absence of fumes, you can save on fuel costs through electricity plans that cater to EV charging. These electricity plans typically offer time-of-use (TOU) discounts, which provide reduced rates for specific times, and are occasionally paired with 100% renewable energy usage. TOU plans often equate to demand pricing, where rates increase when energy demand is at its highest. Since most EV drivers charge their cars at night, when demand is low, TOU plans may provide financial benefits for EV drivers. See the resources below and filter the plans for EV Charging, TOU, or 100% renewable to learn more.
Visit the Electricity Plans website and filter the plan features to “Electric Vehicle Charging” to compare EV charging plans.
Visit the Power To Choose website and use the filter function to extrapolate the Time of Use (TOU) electric plans that offer lower rates during certain times or days.
