Preguntas frecuentes sobre las tarifas por la carga de vehículos eléctricos

¿Existen tarifas específicas para los cargadores de vehículos eléctricos L2 o DCFC?

Existe una tarifa EV de implementación gradual, diseñada para mitigar el impacto de los cargos por demanda al introducirlos progresivamente a medida que aumenta la utilización del sitio. La tarifa de implementación gradual de EV es únicamente para clientes comerciales elegibles (que de lo contrario recibirían el servicio bajo las tarifas SC9 1 y 2, y PASNY 1 y 2). Puede encontrar más información aquí.

También existen incentivos dirigidos para estaciones de carga para vehículos eléctricos, como los Make-Ready Incentives, SmartCharge Commercial y SmartCharge NY.

How does co-locating EV charging with facility load affect my bill?

Your options may include installing the new EV charging load under a separate meter or combining the EV charging load with an existing facility load behind the same meter, or “co-locating” the load.

Use our EV charging cost calculator to compare your options.

How much of my bill is made up of delivery charges?

Your bill is made up of three different types of costs—delivery, supply, and government taxes and fees. Delivery rates are set by state regulatory agencies and aren’t subject to market changes. This revenue lets us maintain and upgrade our electric and gas distribution systems and keep our service safe and reliable.

What types of rate components are there?

There are three basic methods of billing for electric delivery service.  Many variations and combinations are included in each rate option.

Fixed charges ($ per month) also known as customer charges
Volumetric charges ($ per kWh of energy use)
Demand charges ($ per kW of peak demand)

How can I manage my costs under demand charge rate structures?

Under a demand charge rate structure, customers are charged based on the facility’s maximum draw of power (or demand) during the specific rate’s given time periods. Managing your energy use to draw a steady load and reduce large spikes in demand can help to lower demand charges. Under time-of-day rate options, charging vehicles during off-peak periods can lower demand charges. Use our EV charging cost calculator to estimate the impact your EV charging load will have on your electric bill.

How is demand measured under conventional, time-of-day, or standby rates?

Your meter measures the average demand (kW) used in every 15-minute interval. Demand charges are based on the average of the two highest consecutive 15-minute interval demands during the period set by the rate.

How demand is measured under each rate:

Conventional Rate Demand charges are based on the maximum demand for the month.
Time-of-day Rate Demand charges are based on the maximum demand for each time period, for example, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., or all hours.
Standby Rate Demand charges are based on a contract demand, which is fixed, and an as-used daily demand, which is the maximum demand for each time period, each day.
