Several people who have bought EV chargers simply charge their vehicles and forget about them once they have charged their cars. Such people don’t have the information on how to save money using the home charging system. By following some of these steps, you will save more while using your residential charger.
Use the off-peak hours in charging your EV
The owners of the EVs have been using a designed utility plan of peak, mid-peak and off-peak hours in charging their vehicles. These car owners have been consuming a lot of energy, especially during the peak hours since it is in high demand at those hours. Since off-peak hours are early mornings and late evenings, most drivers are uncomfortable charging at these hours. However, it is the best time to charge your EV since you will enjoy several benefits such as complete charging since several people won’t be on the queue to harass you.
The best thing about charging your EV at the off-peak hours, especially when using a home charger, is that you can set your charging period ahead of time. These settings will be essential because they will allow you to save energy and time, while also allow monetary savings since power rates are lowest during those hours.
Be in touch with your utility company
Several utility organizations have come up with special discounts for the people owning electric vehicles. However, it is hard to determine which companies are offering these discounts due to an insufficient database. Making phone calls to your utility company can be the only way to find out if they are offering these special discounts. Though these phone calls may take long, they may yield something great as your unit cost may drop from 20 cents to 10 cents for every kilowatt-hour. This can be a good avenue for you to make savings while receiving quality services for your EV.
Have a gift finder mechanism to help you locate utility firms offering discounts
Since there is no concrete and substantial information on utility company offerings charging discounts, there is a mechanism that the electric vehicle owners can use to find out these incentives. The incentives can be both financial and non-financial, depending on the utility company. You can use the gift finder mechanism in locating the rebates, tax credits and even alternative lanes for fueled and non-fueled vehicles. By finding out all these details, you will be in a better position to spend less while using your EV.
Analysts say EV companies like Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) know buyers need all the help that they can get, so they provide vital information to reap maximum benefit from their purchase.
