Customers who have an electric vehicle can sign up for an Electric Vehicle Time-of-Use (EV-TOU) rate and receive lower rates for charging their vehicle during off-peak hours, between midnight at 5 A.M.  EV-TOU rates are offered to encourage customers to limit daytime usage of electricity, when demand for electricity is highest.

Available Rates

There are two EV-TOU rate choices and both are calculated by the time of day you charge your car, while typical household rates are calculated by how much you charge your car.

Effective January 01, 2010, customers installing inverter-based systems will no longer be required to include an AC disconnect switch when the facility has a self-contained electric revenue meter (i.e., 0-320 amp socket-based meters or 400 amp K-based meters).  This type of meter is used by the vast majority of all SDG&E customers.
