BACKGROUND

All projections show EV sales dramatically increasing. All-electric vehicle driving ranges are increasing, with some models able to drive more than 300 miles on a single charge. Depending on how far you drive each day, you may be able to meet all of your driving needs by plugging in only at home. The TEC Residential Electric Vehicle Charger Incentive program is designed to provide an incentive to purchase and install a residential Level 2 Smart Charger that operates only during the hours TEC has designated. Looking ahead to the future, building a relationship with members who install EV charging stations also allows TEC the option of implementing a demand response program with the EV on its system.

The following are the requirements to be eligible for the incentive:

Be a TEC member who owns and receives electrical service at the dwelling where the equipment will be installed.
