<h2>HG&amp;E's Connected Homes - EV Charger Program</h2>
<p>Customers who own an Electric Vehicle (EV) 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.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Program Rewards</strong></p>
<p>Participating customers have the opportunity to earn&nbsp;<strong>HG&amp;E monthly bill credits ($10/month)</strong>. In addition, customers can choose one of the following:&nbsp;</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.
&nbsp;
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.
&nbsp;
<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).&nbsp;</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. HG&amp;E will notify customer via preferred electronic method prior to such hours.</p>
<p>The Connected Homes - EV Charger Program 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>
