Find the Best Electric Delivery Rate for Your Charging Station

Use our electric vehicle (EV) charging cost calculator to estimate your fuel cost savings and help choose the most cost-effective rate for your business.*

Wondering what electric delivery rates are available for business customers to charge EVs? Use our EV charging cost calculator to estimate your fuel cost savings and help choose the most cost-effective rate for your business.*

What rate is best for my charging site?

It depends on several factors, such as:

  • the load profile of your facility
  • when vehicles are charging
  • how often the chargers will be used
  • characteristics of the charger you’re installing

Consider these three cost drivers when choosing your rate options:

  • The total energy use, which is measured in kWh
  • When you use energy, since pricing may vary by time of day
  • Your maximum use at a given point in time, or demand, measured in kW

Use our EV charging cost calculator to help choose the most cost-effective rate for your business. You’ll also see what incentives you’re eligible for and how much they can lower your bill.
