In addition to the credits and rebates you may use to purchase an electric vehicle (EV), you can save on your monthly electric bill when you own an EV by opting-in to National Grid’s Voluntary Time of Use (VTOU) program. You will get a preferential electricity rate at non-peak times, allowing you to charge your EV (and do other energy intensive activities) off-peak to save on your rate.
This program is only available to residential National Grid customers in the Upstate NY region.

Approximately $175/year (based on driving ~12,000 miles/year in your EV and primarily charging at home).
Claimed as savings on your monthly National Grid bill.
How to Claim
Enroll with National Grid here. There is a one-time, $100 service fee assessed on your next bill to cover the installation cost of new equipment at your home.
For assistance determining if National Grid’s voluntary-time-of-use program makes sense for you (for example, helping you calculate your savings from switching to the program), you can contact savings@castlepay.co or schedule a free consultation here.
Required Information
You must own an electric vehicle and be able to show evidence of the vehicle being owned at the property address. Without this, you’ll be assessed an additional monthly charge by National Grid.
