1. Standard EV Charging Station

Purpose: This incentive aims to promote the installation of hard-wired EV charging stations under specific conditions that ensure energy efficiency and effective load management.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Hard-wired Installation: The EV charger must be permanently connected to the electrical supply, enhancing safety and reliability.
• Dual Fuel Rate: The installation must qualify for and be charged under CVEC’s Dual Fuel (DF) Rate (Rate H), which typically offers lower costs during off-peak hours.
• Load Control: The charger must be compatible with CVEC’s load control system, allowing the cooperative to manage the load during peak times effectively.
• Control Circuit: A low voltage control circuit is required to ensure safe operation, with specifications not exceeding 5A at 120 volts.

2. Smart EV Charging Station

Purpose: This rebate focuses on encouraging the use of smart, networked charging stations that can be remotely monitored and controlled, enhancing the integration of EV charging with grid management.

Eligibility Criteria:

• Purchase through CVEC: Chargers must be bought directly from CVEC, ensuring compatibility and support.
• Approved List: Only models from a pre-approved list are eligible, ensuring that they meet specific performance and safety standards.
• Networked Stations: These chargers must be capable of connecting to a network for monitoring and management, offering benefits like scheduled charging during off-peak hours to reduce costs and grid strain.
