We will send you a survey to learn more about your experience to help us improve future EV programs.
During enrollment, you can choose to acquire, install and maintain your own charging equipment that complies with applicable safety standards and has smart charging capabilities, or select charging equipment from our pre-qualified list.
If you select from our pre-qualified list, you can choose to either pay for the charger and installation upfront (prepay) or through monthly installments on your bill.
When you elect to prepay, you will be invoiced for the charging equipment and installation costs after construction. Additional monthly service charges will still apply. The monthly service charges vary based on the type of chargers you choose but range from about $11 per month to $34 per month, per charging port.
