Getting a Grip on Utility Rate Structures
Like it or not, there is almost no way around having your electrons delivered by a regulated utility. We are experts at sorting through utility rates to rapidly identify if a proposed charging site will benefit, or get clobbered, by the corresponding utility rate structure. Key considerations include:
Demand fees.
Time of use rates.
Special EV charging riders.
When onsite battery buffering makes sense.
When onsite solar makes sense.
Sell-back to grid opportunities.
Emerging bi-directional charging programs.
Let us help you decipher the mysterious tariff books published by electric utilities. You can then make sound decisions on where to place EV charging, and which rate structures will be optimal.
