How does the Time of Use Rate work?
With the Electric Vehicle (EV) Time-of-Use (TOU) Rate, LUMA residential customers who own electric vehicles can place their vehicle or charger on a time-of-use rate while the rest of their house remains on a general service electric rate. The benefit to EV owners would be significantly lower electric costs for charging their cars during off-peak hours (9 AM to 5 PM).
The EV TOU rate defines three windows: Off-peak = 9 AM - 5 PM; On-peak = 5 PM - 11 PM; and Shoulder-peak = 11 PM - 9 AM. The off-peak hours offer the lowest rates for EV charging.
The EV TOU program utilizes the evPulse platform to communicate with your vehicle or charger and identify the energy consumed by charging your car and when that charging activity took place. Your monthly electric billing statement will then capture the credits for charging during off-peak hours.
