EV Charger Program</h2><p>Customers who own an Electric Vehicle can receive a free Level 2 Charger or a $450 bill credit, and save $10 per month by enrolling in HG&amp;E’s Connected Homes – EV Charger Program! Through this program, customers are rewarded for using less energy during peak periods, when energy prices are the highest. </p><p><strong>Program Rewards</strong></p><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><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, in exchange for allowing HG&amp;E to control the charger during peak times.</li><li><strong>$450 Bill Credit:</strong> For residential customers with an existing eligible Level 2 Charger, HG&amp;E is offering a one-time $450 bill credit for opting into this program. These customers are required to prove their EV charging schedule is set outside of peak hours.</li></ul><p><strong>How does it work?</strong></p>If you enroll in the Connected Homes – EV Charger Program, HG&amp;E will have the ability to manage or monitor the energy used by your home EV charger. Customers who receive a free Level 2 Charger are required to provide HG&amp;E access to the device through a Wi-Fi connection. HG&amp;E will control customer charging during peak hours (see seasonal schedule below). During these times, if your EV is plugged in, charging will be reduced to a slower rate. As soon as the period has ended, your charger will automatically reset and charge at full speed. Customers are responsible for installation of the Level 2 Charger. <p>Customers with an existing Level 2 home charger agree to schedule EV charging outside of peak hours (see seasonal schedule below). 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><strong>Seasonal Peak Hours</strong></p><p>Below are the seasonal hours customers will be required to curtail their EV charging*:</p><ul><li>Summer (May 1 - October 31) – Weekdays 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM</li><li>Winter (November 1 - April 30) – Weekdays 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM</li></ul><p>*Additional emergency hours may occur outside these windows.

It derives some of its driving power from a conventional gasoline engine and some from an electric motor and small battery pack. All of its energy is generated from gasoline combustion. However, unlike a non-hybrid vehicle, some of this energy is recovered by recharging the batteries through regenerative braking.  This occurs when the vehicle slows and energy is put back into the battery, which results in better average mpg.</p><p>On the other hand, a plug-in electric vehicle gets its driving power exclusively from an electric motor, and that energy is generated from a larger battery pack that has been recharged from the grid or another external source.  Plug-in electric vehicles also use regenerative braking to improve their overall driving efficiency.</p><p><strong>There are two types of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs): Battery electrics (BEVs) which run on electricity only, and plug-in hybrid electrics (PHEVs)</strong> which can first run entirely on electricity from the battery for a shorter range (often the distance of a daily commute, or more), then seamlessly switch to a full tank of gasoline to recharge the battery when it gets low.</p><p><img src=\"/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/HEV_PHEV_BEV_Kendall.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1195\" height=\"844\" /></p><p>PHEVs therefore will always have the range you need, and can be driven and fueled just like the vehicle you drive now. Today’s BEVs have more range than 90% of commuters and others drive daily.

It derives some of its driving power from a conventional gasoline engine and some from an electric motor and small battery pack. All of its energy is generated from gasoline combustion. However, unlike a non-hybrid vehicle, some of this energy is recovered by recharging the batteries through regenerative braking.  This occurs when the vehicle slows and energy is put back into the battery, which results in better average mpg.</p><p>On the other hand, a plug-in electric vehicle gets its driving power exclusively from an electric motor, and that energy is generated from a larger battery pack that has been recharged from the grid or another external source.  Plug-in electric vehicles also use regenerative braking to improve their overall driving efficiency.</p><p><strong>There are two types of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs): Battery electrics (BEVs) which run on electricity only, and plug-in hybrid electrics (PHEVs)</strong> which can first run entirely on electricity from the battery for a shorter range (often the distance of a daily commute, or more), then seamlessly switch to a full tank of gasoline to recharge the battery when it gets low.</p><p><img src=\"/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/HEV_PHEV_BEV_Kendall.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1195\" height=\"844\" /></p><p>PHEVs therefore will always have the range you need, and can be driven and fueled just like the vehicle you drive now. Today’s BEVs have more range than 90% of commuters and others drive daily. Some models are available in either BEV or PHEV.</p><p><strong>Most BEVs have a range of between 114 and 315 miles depending upon model.</strong> They must be recharged when the battery gets low, and can be done slowly (typically overnight at home while you sleep) or more quickly using a public fast charging station. But mostly, they are <a href=\"https://hgev.ene.org/charging-guide/home-installation-help/\">charged conveniently at home, overnight while you sleep</a>.</p><p><strong>Today’s PHEVs a have a battery range between 14 and 114 miles, and then typically a full tank of gasoline range, 300-500+ miles.</strong> When operating in hybrid mode, they also get better gas mileage than comparable gasoline only vehicles.</p><p style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">What is vehicle Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)?</p><p style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-family: \'Open Sans\', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">The TCO includes the purchase price of an asset plus the costs of operation<em style=\"font-size: 16px;\">.

benefits of choosing an electric vehicle is the savings it provides. Because an EV has a lower fueling cost and significantly lower maintenance cost, the savings add up over time and mileage. When we compare the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) over five years of an electric vehicle to a similar gasoline only vehicle, the cost will almost always come out lower for the EV. And on average, an EV will also save you time that would have otherwise been spent visiting the gas pump or taking your car to the service center. But why is this the case? What is it about electric vehicles that make them so good at saving you money and time?</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>1. Maintenance</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Electric vehicles have fewer moving parts than their ICE vehicle counterparts. In simple terms, their propulsion system consists of an electric motor, power electronics and a battery. Fewer moving parts means less wear and tear that would happen over time. On top of that, many models of EV\'s built to not only meet, by far exceed the average driver’s needs. Every EV’s propulsion system comes with an 8 year/100,000-mile warranty.

Regenerative braking, a system which not only extends the life of the conventional brakes (simply by not using them as much), and also increases the vehicle’s efficiency.

In fact, after going down a long hill, an EV’s battery level and range indicator may actually go up!</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>2. Lower Fuel Costs</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Despite gasoline prices averaging lower than they have in years, fueling a traditional gasoline only vehicle can still be very expensive over time. In comparison, fueling a car with electricity has consistently proven to be far cheaper, especially for those whose electricity comes from a municipally owned light plant with typically lower residential rates. In the case of charging your EV at home in territory, the cost will usually come out to under $1.50 a gallon. And if enrolled in an off-peak charging incentive program, that can be just $1 a gallon or even less!</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p><strong>3. Time</strong></p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>One benefit of EV\'s not talked about as much is potential time saved. Compared to taking a gasoline vehicle to the gas station around once a week, an electric vehicle is most typically charged at home, nightly while you sleep. While the actual total charge time required may be measured in hours, the driver’s time required is only a few seconds. Upon arrival at home, the driver simply plugs in and the car starts charging or is ready start automatically, if charging is scheduled. Drivers who participate in an off-peak charging incentive program typically program their car or charging unit to automatically start charging later in the evening per the terms of the incentive program. The process for plugging in however is the same, as the car will automatically sit idle until the scheduled charging commences.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Even charging in public or at the workplace can save a driver time, as these are places where someone would already be parking anyhow. It’s important to note though that for most drivers, around 90% percent of charging still happens at home. The rest can be done while you’re out, whether going out to eat, shop, at work, or at a rest stop fast charging station while on that occasional long trip. For plug-in hybrid (PHEV) drivers, any charging away from home is strictly optional based on convenience vs cost.</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Finally, the lower maintenance needs of an EV also saves its driver a lot of time. Over 5 years, a typical gasoline car may require over 20 oil changes alone! An all-electric car never needs an oil change.

Seeing the electric vehicle technology was making technological leaps, the greatest commuter of all time, the one who travels the entire world in one global night every year, the star of stars Santa Claus took to the Internet to learn more about EVs, and how he could take his Reindeer power, modernize it, and electrify.</p>\n<p>Finding us on our <strong><a href=\"https://hgev-ev.ene.org/contact/\">Contact Us</a></strong> page, this EV specialist helped the jolliest of sleigh riders on his EV journey. After a few exchanges, we thought that was it, and hoped we’d hear the singing of electrons flowing from our roof for our 2020 Christmas Eve. Little did we know, Santa didn’t just want an EV for himself. No, after talking with us, Santa went ahead and ELECTRIFIED his entire fleet! When we found this out, we just had to get an exclusive, and we were overjoyed! Here is our interview with the man, the myth, the legend, Jolly Old Saint Nick.</p>\n<h6><em>*Important note, this interview was conducted utilizing all appropriate social distancing, and protective practices. While Santa Claus himself has said his magic protects him from sickness, he wanted to respect the state guidelines, and quarantined himself for the appropriate time before we interviewed.</em></h6>\n<h6><em>*Second important note, no members of the EV team were found on the naughty list this year, ensuring this interview could happen.</em></h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\n<p><strong>Q: Thanks for meeting with us. Can we start off by asking, how would you like us to refer to you by? And may I ask what mode of transportation you used to get here?</strong></p>\n<p>It’s my pleasure. Nick, or Santa is fine for this interview. I was just on an online call with some kids, talking to them about my ride. I built this baby myself, with the help of some friends, after taking apart one of those Tesla’s. Short answer, I came on the road, and it’s a little thing we like to call the “Rudolph 2.0” an all-electric sedan with a 100 kWh battery. Let me tell you, that puppy can sing when you ask it to. Air travel out of the North Pole is strictly for the big night if you know what I mean.</p>\n<p><strong>Q: You told us before this interview that you had electrified the entire northern fleet. Can you expand on that?</strong></p>\n<p>Happy to! After learning how far you could get on electricity alone, I realized it was time to give the reindeers a break. Also, the North Pole campus was swimming in gas powered golf carts, and Internal combustion powered commuter vehicles. You know, people forget, but the atmosphere is actually at its thinnest in the poles. I felt the time was upon us to start cutting our emissions. After talking with my head elf engineers, and Mrs. Claus, we came up with a roadmap to electrify. We looked at several Li-Ion (this is short for lithium ion batteries, the current terminology for the batteries utilized in modern electric vehicles) manufacturers and worked out a partnership to build vehicles for our campus. I can’t say who our partner is for PR purposes. No favoritism up here, I hope you understand.</p>\n<p>We then installed charging stations throughout my village, and highway corridors so my elves could charge up for those longer trips.</p>\n<p><strong>What were the main drivers when changing the fleet? Was it hard installing the charge stations?</strong></p>\n<p>Well, you’d be surprised what we could do once we put our minds to it. We looked at the numbers, and realized we were going to save a mountain of expenses on fuel and maintenance. Don’t get me started on the experience. “Rudolph 2.0” Drives itself basically. We love to take “Blitzen 2.0” and “Prancer 3.0” on the track to see who gets off the line first. These vehicles are a blast to drive, and as soon as our elves got in them, they just didn’t see a reason to go back. Our biggest block was teaching everyone of how this technology worked. Once the infrastructure and 2.0s and 3.0s were out there, we had to address some elf fears about the technology. You’d be surprised how much incorrect information is out there! But with patience, a positive attitude, and good test drive experiences, the switch came fast, and that jolly cheer came with it!</p>\n<p><strong>Prancer 3.0?</strong></p>\n<p>Listen, it takes time a bit of time to get this technology right. We’re starting from scratch in many cases here. The 2.0 model didn’t’ come with battery heating technology, and surprise, surprise the range, charging and efficiency took a hard hit. We worked the problem and with some candy cane grease and gingerbread will we got 3.0 proudly built and rolling. On a side note, it took a lot of education and outreach to teach our fleet drivers to plug in Blitzen 3.0 (Blitzen’s our fleet vehicle now, great for getting around town) once they parked it. It’s critical to develop positive charging habits! That way, when we all need a charge, we can rest easy knowing a charging spot can always be open, not taken up by a Blitzen 3.0 because an elf forgot to “plug ’em in.”</p>\n<p><strong>We heard about the sleigh. Can you tell us a little more about that? Also, does that mean the Reindeer are out of work?</strong></p>\n<p>The stress is a little higher this year. Globally of course, it’s been a hard year for everyone, but up here in the north pole, I can see some clenched teeth as we prepare. It’s going to be our first time ever running the sled on something other than flying reindeer power. We had to map out where I will stop to charge things. Let me correct that a bit, my co-pilot will do the charging, and it should be business as usual going down those chimneys. The sled moves as silent as the wind, but we’ve still got the bells on there to stay “on brand”. Hah!</p>\n<p>And no, the reindeer aren’t out of a job. Yes, they’re no longer pulling the sled, but with new technology, comes new needs. The reindeer are the most experienced navigators we’ve got. They designed our EV highways, mapped out where to build and operate the charge stations, and they helped us map out where to stop and charge on the big night. It’s important to have a plan B and C, just in case.</p>\n<p><strong>Santa, thank you for meeting with us today. Our last question before you go. What’s your personal favorite thing about an electric vehicle and/or the technology behind it?</strong></p>\n<p>Thanks for having me! My answer: they’re fun, and they are what today’s children will be driving when they get their first car. Best to get ahead of it. Can I say one quick thing?</p>\n<p><strong>Of course!</strong></p>\n<p>Don’t forget to check with these guys if they’ve got any electric incentive going on.

Seeing the electric vehicle technology was making technological leaps, the greatest commuter of all time, the one who travels the entire world in one global night every year, the star of stars Santa Claus took to the Internet to learn more about EVs, and how he could take his Reindeer power, modernize it, and electrify.</p>\n<p>Finding us on our <strong><a href=\"https://hgev-ev.ene.org/contact/\">Contact Us</a></strong> page, this EV specialist helped the jolliest of sleigh riders on his EV journey. After a few exchanges, we thought that was it, and hoped we’d hear the singing of electrons flowing from our roof for our 2020 Christmas Eve. Little did we know, Santa didn’t just want an EV for himself. No, after talking with us, Santa went ahead and ELECTRIFIED his entire fleet! When we found this out, we just had to get an exclusive, and we were overjoyed! Here is our interview with the man, the myth, the legend, Jolly Old Saint Nick.</p>\n<h6><em>*Important note, this interview was conducted utilizing all appropriate social distancing, and protective practices. While Santa Claus himself has said his magic protects him from sickness, he wanted to respect the state guidelines, and quarantined himself for the appropriate time before we interviewed.</em></h6>\n<h6><em>*Second important note, no members of the EV team were found on the naughty list this year, ensuring this interview could happen.</em></h6>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\n<p><strong>Q: Thanks for meeting with us. Can we start off by asking, how would you like us to refer to you by? And may I ask what mode of transportation you used to get here?</strong></p>\n<p>It’s my pleasure. Nick, or Santa is fine for this interview. I was just on an online call with some kids, talking to them about my ride. I built this baby myself, with the help of some friends, after taking apart one of those Tesla’s. Short answer, I came on the road, and it’s a little thing we like to call the “Rudolph 2.0” an all-electric sedan with a 100 kWh battery. Let me tell you, that puppy can sing when you ask it to. Air travel out of the North Pole is strictly for the big night if you know what I mean.</p>\n<p><strong>Q: You told us before this interview that you had electrified the entire northern fleet. Can you expand on that?</strong></p>\n<p>Happy to! After learning how far you could get on electricity alone, I realized it was time to give the reindeers a break. Also, the North Pole campus was swimming in gas powered golf carts, and Internal combustion powered commuter vehicles. You know, people forget, but the atmosphere is actually at its thinnest in the poles. I felt the time was upon us to start cutting our emissions. After talking with my head elf engineers, and Mrs. Claus, we came up with a roadmap to electrify. We looked at several Li-Ion (this is short for lithium ion batteries, the current terminology for the batteries utilized in modern electric vehicles) manufacturers and worked out a partnership to build vehicles for our campus. I can’t say who our partner is for PR purposes. No favoritism up here, I hope you understand.</p>\n<p>We then installed charging stations throughout my village, and highway corridors so my elves could charge up for those longer trips.</p>\n<p><strong>What were the main drivers when changing the fleet? Was it hard installing the charge stations?</strong></p>\n<p>Well, you’d be surprised what we could do once we put our minds to it. We looked at the numbers, and realized we were going to save a mountain of expenses on fuel and maintenance. Don’t get me started on the experience. “Rudolph 2.0” Drives itself basically. We love to take “Blitzen 2.0” and “Prancer 3.0” on the track to see who gets off the line first. These vehicles are a blast to drive, and as soon as our elves got in them, they just didn’t see a reason to go back. Our biggest block was teaching everyone of how this technology worked. Once the infrastructure and 2.0s and 3.0s were out there, we had to address some elf fears about the technology. You’d be surprised how much incorrect information is out there! But with patience, a positive attitude, and good test drive experiences, the switch came fast, and that jolly cheer came with it!</p>\n<p><strong>Prancer 3.0?</strong></p>\n<p>Listen, it takes time a bit of time to get this technology right. We’re starting from scratch in many cases here. The 2.0 model didn’t’ come with battery heating technology, and surprise, surprise the range, charging and efficiency took a hard hit. We worked the problem and with some candy cane grease and gingerbread will we got 3.0 proudly built and rolling. On a side note, it took a lot of education and outreach to teach our fleet drivers to plug in Blitzen 3.0 (Blitzen’s our fleet vehicle now, great for getting around town) once they parked it. It’s critical to develop positive charging habits! That way, when we all need a charge, we can rest easy knowing a charging spot can always be open, not taken up by a Blitzen 3.0 because an elf forgot to “plug ’em in.”</p>\n<p><strong>We heard about the sleigh. Can you tell us a little more about that? Also, does that mean the Reindeer are out of work?</strong></p>\n<p>The stress is a little higher this year. Globally of course, it’s been a hard year for everyone, but up here in the north pole, I can see some clenched teeth as we prepare. It’s going to be our first time ever running the sled on something other than flying reindeer power. We had to map out where I will stop to charge things. Let me correct that a bit, my co-pilot will do the charging, and it should be business as usual going down those chimneys. The sled moves as silent as the wind, but we’ve still got the bells on there to stay “on brand”. Hah!</p>\n<p>And no, the reindeer aren’t out of a job. Yes, they’re no longer pulling the sled, but with new technology, comes new needs. The reindeer are the most experienced navigators we’ve got. They designed our EV highways, mapped out where to build and operate the charge stations, and they helped us map out where to stop and charge on the big night. It’s important to have a plan B and C, just in case.</p>\n<p><strong>Santa, thank you for meeting with us today. Our last question before you go. What’s your personal favorite thing about an electric vehicle and/or the technology behind it?</strong></p>\n<p>Thanks for having me! My answer: they’re fun, and they are what today’s children will be driving when they get their first car. Best to get ahead of it. Can I say one quick thing?</p>\n<p><strong>Of course!</strong></p>\n<p>Don’t forget to check with these guys if they’ve got any electric incentive going on.
