Connecticut Electric Vehicle Rate Program

Three new rates to help you keep costs down and build Connecticut's electric vehicle (EV) charging network. 

Save Money and Build Connecticut's EV Charging Network

Installing EV chargers in your municipality or business can be a great way to attract customers and visitors, add value to your location, or build your electrified vehicle fleet. Once your chargers are up and running, you can enroll in one of our EV Light Duty Rates.

These rates are specifically designed for commercial, industrial and municipal EV chargers, and could save you money when compared to our general service rate by helping to mitigate the effect from demand charges for low load factors.

Available rates

Your rate will be determined by the maximum demand at your EV charging stations in the current or prior 11 months:

  • EV-S Rate - For a maximum demand up to 100 kW
  • EV-M Rate - For a maximum demand between 100 and 350 kW
  • EV-L Rate - For a maximum demand of 350 kW or greater

More information on all three rates is available.

Program Qualifications

These rates are available for commercial and industrial customers whose load is separately metered.

Installed EV charging stations using this rate must fall under the following categories:

  •  Level 2 and Level 3 direct current fast chargers (DCFCs) that are available for use by the public, such as on-street parking spaces, public parking spaces in lots, or spaces in parking garages.
  • Available for private use installations for DCFCs and four or more networked level 2 chargers that are enrolled in the managed charging program under the Workplace & Light Duty Fleet Charging Program. 

Eligibility for this rate is subject to review and approval.

You will be required to stay on the rates for a minimum of one year. After that,  you can cancel with one month's written notice.
