FAQ

How much will it cost to charge an EV charger in my home?

How will charging an EV at home affect my monthly bill?

EV charging will definitely increase your monthly electric bill. Keep in mind, there are a number of factors affecting the price of your electricity – your individual rate plan, current monthly electrical use, the time of day you use electricity and the season (rates are higher in summer than in winter).
How does paying for kilowatt hours compare to buying gas?

The cost of charging an EV may be significantly less than the cost of filling up at the gas pump. It works out to be about the same as paying $1 for a gallon of gas when charging during Off-Peak or Super Off-Peak hours on an SCE rate plan designed for EVs.
How does EV charging work for customers who have solar systems?

They are eligible for the same rate options as all other EV customers. The electricity generated from a solar energy system could help offset the EV charging costs, depending on the system’s efficiency, the weather, and other factors.

Why can’t my electrician install my EV charger?

Your electrician certainly can, but we recommend using a specialist. (Would you have your general doctor do surgery?)
