Electric Vehicle Home Charger Managed Charging
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.
How to Enroll
To sign up for Managed Charging, you'll need a qualified smart device that will allow you to participate. There are two types of devices that work:
A qualified level 2 smart charger
These smart chargers can connect to Wi-Fi, which allows them to participate. You'll need to make sure your smart charger is on this list. If you don't have a smart charger we offer rebates up to $500, and all chargers that qualify for a rebate can enroll in Managed Charging.
Telematics vehicle connection
Some EVs, including most Teslas, can connect directly without the need for a smart charger. You can check this list to see if your EV has this feature.
Once you're sure you have a qualified device, select the option below and enroll today. You'll be eligible for rewards this year, plus a $100 incentive for enrolling.

Enroll with Telematics Vehicle Connection
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.
