Driving electric is now more affordable
If you drive an electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle, you can save money with an EV Time-of-Use (TOU) pricing plan by programming your car to charge during the lowest-priced time period. Electricity prices are as low as 9 cents per kWh when you charge your car during the Super Off-Peak hours between midnight and 6 am.
Who is this pricing plan for?
Our EV pricing plans are for customers who own electrical vehicles or plug-in hybrids.
An EV pricing plan is a smart choice for electric vehicle owners who can charge overnight.
Electric vehicle pricing plans at-a-glance
- EV-TOU, a plan for just your electric vehicle: Save money by charging your EV at night during Off-Peak hours. This plan requires a separate meter for your EV and tracks your EV’s electricity use separately, while your home remains on the Standard Plan. For this plan, you'll need to choose an electrician to install the second meter at your expense, which is why most customers prefer the EV-TOU-2 or EV-TOU-5 plan.
- EV-TOU-2, a plan for your home and electric vehicle: Save money by charging your EV and shifting your home energy use to the lowest-priced Off-Peak hours. Managing your home energy use is easy on an EV plan; just program your car to charge during Off-Peak hours, and use your clothes washer/dryer, dishwasher, pool pump, etc. during the same Off-Peak hours. This plan uses your existing household meter to track both your home and EV electricity usage.
-
EV-TOU-5, a plan for your home and electric vehicle: This new plan is similar to EV-TOU-2 but the On-Peak and Off-Peak pricing is reduced by one cent kW/h and the Super Off-Peak rate is reduced to just 9¢ kW/h when you pay a Basic Monthly Service Fee of $16. Super Off-Peak hours are midnight to 6 am weekdays, and midnight to 2 pm on weekends and holidays.
How do these pricing plans work?
EV-TOU pricing plans take into account the time of day you are using energy. Your price is lowest from midnight to 6 am, making this the best time to charge your vehicle.

Pricing Plan FAQs
Both EV TOU2 and EV TOU5 are single meter plans where all usage is recorded on the same meter as the whole house. Those who sign up for EV TOU need to have an electrician install a second meter to record usage from the vehicle only.
Some solar customers produce enough energy to cover all their electricity use, while others generate only a portion of their total electric use so need to pay for some usage. Depending on your usage and generation, an EV pricing plan may reduce your costs.
The only EV pricing plan that is separate from the household plan is EV TOU.
