Electric Vehicle Program

Do you own an electric vehicle or are considering purchasing one? MVEC has two voluntary choices for charging electric vehicles, while saving energy and money.

Save money with an Energy Wise electric vehicle program

By avoiding peak use periods, MVEC does not have to pay premium prices when purchasing power from its wholesale power providers. It’s a win-win for everyone. Members save with lower rates, and MVEC can help reduce its wholesale electric bill. 

MVEC offers a Time-of-Use (TOU) charging program that provides flexibility. With this program you can charge your vehicle whenever needed by installing a special meter on your home to keep track of fluctuating rate periods based on the time of day you charge your EV.

 

Summer Rates (June-Sept):
• EV-Wise (Yellow) 6.9¢/kWh
• EV-General (Green) 12.5¢/kWh
• EV-Critical (Red) 39.7¢/kWh

Rest of the Year Rates:
• EV-Wise (Yellow) 5.2¢/kWh
• EV-General (Green) 11.7¢/kWh
• EV-Critical (Red) 39.7¢/kWh 

 

 

MVEC has an electric vehicle as part of our fleet. A Tesla Model 3 was purchased in spring 2019 to demonstrate to employees and members an appealing electric vehicle with great driving characteristics, a quiet comfort, and a unique style and design.
