Fleet Friendly Charging Rates
Save money with the lower EV-HP charging rate plan
SDG&E’s reduced charging rates and simpler billing make the transition to electric vehicles easier and more cost-effective for fleets. Eligible medium-duty and heavy-duty fleet operators can opt-in to SDG&E’s new Electric Vehicle-High Power (EV-HP) rate plan, designed to eliminate demand charges and provide customers with simple, stable, monthly billing.

Save on Your Fleet’s EV Charging by Eliminating Demand Charges
Beyond emission reductions and sustainability goals, long-term cost savings is a major reason that fleets are deploying electric vehicles (EVs). However, fluctuating electricity prices can increase the cost of charging and deter businesses from making that transition.
To provide simpler and more predictable billing, SDG&E has introduced the EV-HP rate plan for customers with medium- and heavy-duty fleets. It allows customers to subscribe to a simple rate plan that is matched to their fleet’s power consumption.
Is My Fleet Eligible for Reduced EV Charging Rates?
The EV-HP Rate is available to customers that operate a broad range of on- and off-road medium- and heavy-duty EVs. The EV-HP rate is an optional rate plan.
Customers can opt-in if they meet the following requirements:
- Operate separately metered EV charging equipment
- Maximum demand over 20 kW
- Not a single-family home
How does the EV-HP Rate Plan Work?
Simple, Stable Monthly Billing
The EV-HP rate plan allows EV fleet customers to choose the amount of power they will need to charge their vehicles and pay for it with a monthly subscription fee—similar to a cell phone plan that lets customers choose the amount of data they will use.
What are the reduced EV-HP rates?
The EV-HP rate plan utilizes reduced Time of Use (TOU) energy charges that are incurred based on the time of day you use electricity, measured in kilowatt hours (kWh). These rates have a steep differential between “on-peak” and “super off-peak” prices to encourage fleet customers to charge during periods of lowest demand.
Time of Use Energy Charges for EV-HP Customers
Note: Summer pricing is June through October. Winter pricing is applicable November through May.
SDG&E works with fleets to help determine their estimated monthly power needs, based on maximum total power demand each month. If maximum power demand is:
