What is Managed Charging?

Receive a reward for using less energy when others are using more and help us maintain a healthy grid as EV adoption increases.

Participants in the Managed Charging program are encouraged to charge their EVs during off-peak hours and participate in peak demand events. This will help decrease the stress on the electric system while lowering your carbon emissions even further.

Rewards for participating

In Off-Peak Rewards, you'll earn up to $200 per program year in rewards, broken down as follows:

Earn rewards up to $120 per program year for charging during off-peak hours

• Every month, as long as 80% of your charging time is during off-peak hours and you have had at least one 15-minute home charging session, you'll earn $10 per month.
• Off-peak hours are defined as any time other than 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays. You can charge any time during the weekends. 
• You will be in charge of deciding when you use your home charger. Nothing will prevent you from charging during peak hours, though you may lose that month's $10 incentive if more than 20% of your home charging time is during peak hours.

Earn up to $80 per program year for not opting out of peak demand events

• From June to September, as long as you don't opt out of peak demand events, you'll earn $20 per month.
• Peak demand events are pre-defined times when energy use is exceptionally high. These events can only occur during late afternoon on summer weekdays and last 3 hours. Typically, there are 10 - 15 of these events per year between June and September.
• We will provide advanced notice of these events, and your qualified smart device will automatically stop charging during the event.
• You will remain in control of your charging, and can opt out of these events if you need to charge during the pre-set time.

For complete details on the Scheduled Charging offer, please refer to the CT EV Charging Program Guide. By participating you can instead earn $25 per month by allowing Eversource to schedule your charging for you. Customers who have opted into the Time-of-Day Rate 7 might benefit from this option. 

I have telematics, but I need a wiring upgrade

Cars that have telematics will still need a high-voltage outlet to charge. We offer a $500 rebate to help you install the necessary wiring, plus a $100 reward for enrolling in Managed Charging.
