Electric Vehicle Program

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 has two voluntary options for electric vehicle (EV) charging: a storage program that offers a static, but low price, and a Time-of-Use (TOU) program that provides flexibility.

EV-8: Storage Program

This rate offers members a low off-peak electric rate for charging an EV for eight hours a night and only during off-peak hours of 11 p.m. – 7 a.m. Power is not available outside of off-peak hours, and the charger must be hardwired into your circuit panel, if wired to its own dedicated meter. No other outlet is allowed.

All-Year Rate: 5.2¢/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.
