By agreeing to charge only at night, you will not only help keep electric rates sustainable for all HG&amp;E customers but will also help save on carbon emissions!</p><h3><strong>Program Rewards</strong></h3><p>Participating customers have the opportunity to earn <strong>HG&amp;E monthly bill credits ($10/month)</strong>. In addition, customers can choose one of the following: </p><ul><li style="list-style-type: none;"><ul><li><strong>Free Level 2 Charger</strong>: By enrolling in this program, customers will have the ability to receive a free Wi-Fi enabled Level 2 Charger, which charges an electric vehicle in 4-8 hours.</li><li><strong>$450 Bill Credit:</strong> For customers with an existing eligible Level 2 Charger, HG&amp;E is offering a one-time $450 bill credit for opting into this program. </li></ul></li></ul><h3><strong style="font-size: 16px;">How does it work?</strong></h3>If you enroll in the <strong>Connected Homes – EV Charger Program</strong>, HG&amp;E will have the ability to manage or monitor the energy used by your home EV charger. <strong>Free Level 2 Charger: </strong>Customers who receive a free Level 2 Charger are required to sign up for HG&amp;E’s charging schedule as well as provide HG&amp;E access to the device through a Wi-Fi connection. The charging schedule is available by downloading a free application provided by the charger manufacturer and limits charging to occur only between the hours of <strong>9:00 pm and 7:00 am Monday-Friday, and anytime on weekends.</strong> Customers are responsible for installation of the Level 2 Charger, which must be done by a licensed electrician. After your charger is installed, we will work with you to help you set your charger to HG&amp;E’s charging schedule.  <p><strong>Existing Level 2 Charger ($450 Bill Credit): </strong>Customers with an existing Level 2 home charger agree to schedule EV charging to occur only between the hours of <strong>9:00 pm and 7:00 am Monday-Friday, and anytime on weekends.</strong> HG&amp;E will have the ability to monitor and verify that charging is occurring outside of these windows through HG&amp;E's Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). </p><p>The <strong>Connected Homes - EV Charger Program</strong> allows customers to participate in HG&amp;E’s grid transformation efforts with their own equipment and receive credits for doing so, while also helping to drive down costs for all HG&amp;E customers.</p><blockquote><p>See the full terms and conditions <a href="https://www.hged.com/customers/save-energy-money/for-home/connected-homes/connected-homes-ev-terms.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>: <strong><a style="color: #99cc00; text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.hged.com/customers/save-energy-money/for-home/rebates/connected-homes/connected-homes-ev-terms.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.hged.com/customers/save-energy-money/for-home/rebates/connected-homes/connected-homes-ev-terms.aspx </a></strong></p></blockquote></section></article>
