EV PROGRAM
Electrifying transportation
Our mission is to accelerate the electrification of transportation. Our EV programs aim to meet a broad range of member needs; from ensuring cost-effective home and work place charging, to reducing range anxiety through a localized network of fast chargers, to meeting the mass transit needs of our members and local community partners.

Our partner for faster charging
We partnered exclusively with ChargePoint, the world’s largest and most open electric vehicle (EV) charging network, to provide our members a place to charge at home, at work and on the go. The chargers can be used by any EV and are easy to use.
Drive on sunshine. Drive on wind.
Charge your EV when renewables are at their peak and electricity is cheap. The best time to charge your EV is between 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., and from 11 p.m. – 5 a.m. ChargePoint Home makes it easy to remember when to plugin by allowing you to schedule your charging sessions.
Federal tax credit on EV charging equipment
You may be eligible for a Federal tax credit for installation of an electric vehicle charger.

Charging your EV
The time it takes to fully charge your EV is based on level, or speed, of charging.

LEVEL 1 CHARGING
is through a 120-volt outlet, the standard household size. This level requires about eight hours to provide 40 miles of range.
LEVEL 2 CHARGING
takes 240-volt service and is the most commonly used home charging system. It can deliver a charge of 10 to 60 miles of range per hour.

LEVEL 3 DC FAST CHARGING EQUIPMENT
typically used for public stations — is very fast, providing a charge of up to 100 miles in 20 minutes.
