EV Charging Rate Options for Businesses
We are offering Electrical Vehicle rates for business (commercial and industrial) customers with separately metered electric vehicle charging stations. Our EV rates are based on the non-demand metered option of two existing rate schedules, Rate General Service (GS) and Rate General Service Time-of-Use (GST). If you’re interested, our rate Pricing page has full descriptions of available rate options. We have made these rates available on a temporary basis to provide immediate relief from Demand Charges for EV charging stations at the direction of the Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA).
Beginning on January 1, 2024, we will offer new, permanent rates based on the utilization rate of EV charging stations at the direction of PURA. These new rates will replace the existing temporary rates and will be available to all commercial and industrial customers with separately metered DCFC stations and light-duty fleets with installations of four or more networked Level 2 chargers that are enrolled in a managed charging program. Please check back for more information on these new rates.
To update or make changes to your rates to support your new separately metered electric vehicle chargers contact our call center 800.722.5584.
