Rates & Charging Options
We offer 2 rate plans specifically designed for people with electric cars. These plans provide lower rates when you charge at night and during off-peak hours. Your selected rate plan and charging level (or voltage) will determine whether you’ll need to upgrade your home’s electrical wiring. Call us for a personalized rate analysis. Our SCE Home Fuel Advisors™ will help you understand your options so you can choose the rate plan and charging level that best meet your needs.

Electric Car Rate Plans
Although you have the option of fueling your electric car on your current rate, we offer 2 special rate plans designed for charging your electric car during off-peak hours, when costs are lower. The first is our Home & Electric Vehicle Plan (TOU-D-TEV), which uses one meter to measure all your electricity usage -- your home and your electric car. This rate is often selected by people who are able to shift their household’s electricity consumption to evening and overnight hours – and recharge the car’s battery then, too. The second rate plan, our Electric Vehicle Plan (TOU-EV-1) requires a separate meter for charging your car, while your household usage keeps its own meter and its current rate plan. Of course, you can also choose to charge your electric car on your current Residential Plan (Schedule D) or other applicable residential rate.
Energy Management
Speak to one of our SCE Home Fuel Advisors to learn more about managing your electric car charging. We can offer tips and advice to help you maximize the benefits of off-peak charging, and identify other energy efficiency practices that could save you money. For example, some plug-in electric cars allow you to program your start and stop charging times, or even “charge completion” times, to help you take full advantage of our electric car rate plans.
