Schedule Your Charging
To lower your monthly electric bill, consider programming your electric vehicle (EV) charger to operate during off-peak or super off-peak hours, rather than during peak hours from 4-7 p.m. CT. Rates are significantly lower during these times. Most EVs and chargers allow you to schedule charging through an app or the vehicle's interface. Since Level 2 EV chargers can use 10 kWh or more per hour, aligning your charging times with these lower rate periods can help you save on energy costs while ensuring your vehicle is fully charged when needed.
