The new plan is said to be the first such scheme available to electricity customers who live within select utilities in the US states of Pennsylvania and Maryland. It includes a Level 2 at-home EV charger at no-cost and reduced-price energy at night and early morning, when most EV owners typically charge their vehicles.
With EV Power Charger, customers who charge their electric vehicles and use appliances between 10 pm and 7 am, when demand is lowest, will receive lower electricity supply prices.
For those on the fence about getting an EV, the convenience of efficient charging at home along with lower-cost, time-of-use pricing, can help people decide to take that step to buy an EV and is what NRG says makes its EV Power Charger Plan without parallel.
Level 2 EV chargers typically take between three and eight hours, depending on the range of the vehicle, to fully charge a vehicle. The charger is compatible with most EVs, although Tesla owners would need a separate adapter.
