Electric Vehicles

York Electric Cooperative has been learning about electric vehicles alongside you. Your co-op is committed to continuing service excellence and being your trusted source for information. To accommodate our members’ growing interest in electric vehicles, we are now offering three different incentives to best meet the diverse needs of our members and their interests.

Reduce your EV charging costs by up to 70% by allowing automatic scheduling for your EV to charge when rates are cheapest. If you would rather maintain control while also using the Optiwatt scheduler app, you'll enjoy customizable advanced scheduling to fit your lifestyle, whether you charge during peak times or not. You can also set custom departure times for each day of the week and maximize your battery life by saving the last bit of charging to pre-condition your car for departure.

Here's how it works: Once you register your electric vehicle with YEC and download the Optiwatt scheduler app, you can choose between two incentives:

  1. Allow charging control when rates are cheapest, you qualify for a rebate of $250 per charger and $15 per vehicle for the first year, then up to $120 annually for second year on.
  2. Do not allow control but you will still qualify for a $100 one-time credit.

(If you already participate in YEC's Time of Use Rate Program, you may still apply for a one-time $50 Optiwatt credit just for signing up and downloading the Optiwatt app.)

Time of Use Rate Program

Our third incentive option is a Residential Rebate of up to $200 for members with a qualifying Electric Vehicle Charger installed at their home within YEC's service territory. It's simple: YEC will install a time-of-day meter at your home and the less electricity you use during peak times, the more you save. You must have a qualifying Electric Vehicle Charger and a submeter that have been installed separately by a qualified electrician.
