Electric Vehicle Time of Use Rate Program

Below, please find brief instruc­tions and guide­lines to install the required Lev­el 2 EV charg­er:

• YEC will install a time-of-day meter at your home.
• A break­er, with at least a 40 Amp capac­i­ty, should be installed with the sole pur­pose of serv­ing the sub­me­ter and EV charg­er.
• We rec­om­mend using a 100 Amp meter base for the sub­me­ter, not­ing a ground rod is not required for this instal­la­tion.
• The wire used to con­nect the break­er and sub­me­ter must include 4 wires: two hot legs, a neu­tral, and a ground. The wire must be at least 8 gauge in size and con­nect to the top lugs or con­nec­tors of the meter base.
• The EV charg­ing wire must con­nect to the bot­tom lugs or con­nec­tors of the meter base.
• For con­ve­nience and main­te­nance, we rec­om­mend hav­ing all required sec­tions of the new instal­la­tion beside one anoth­er.
• The instal­la­tion of an EV charg­er and sub­me­ter should only be per­formed by qual­i­fied indi­vid­u­als. YEC high­ly rec­om­mends hir­ing a cer­ti­fied elec­tri­cian to install this equip­ment.
• The lat­est Nation­al Elec­tric Code (NEC) guide­lines apply for all steps of the instal­la­tion.
