Yes. CEC has both incentive programs for EV-owning members and a cost-based Commercial EV rate for retail charging service of electricity as a transportation fuel.
CEC supports the adoption of electric vehicles and the availability of EVs and the availability of EV charging stations through incentive programs and cost-based rate offerings.
The growth of EVs can generate off-peak electricity loads that help flatten power supply costs over time and lower rates for all members. In addition, CEC is considering an optional whole-home EV rate available to any member with a registered EV. This rate allows for off-peak charging savings for members. The rate incentive will help meet the goals of both standards.
