I need some support from Tesla owners. Before i purchased the car, i had called BGE (electric provider) to inquire about the rates for charging at home. They told me about off peek and on peek rates. well today, after i signed-up and registered my car, i call them to make sure everything is in there system and i am on that plan where i pay 0.07/kw on off peek vs 09 on peek. I know the numbers are not that off so the saving is not huge, but, it turns out i am not on that plan. she mentioned, there is a no incentive to sign up for that plan b\c the blended rate i currently have is 0.9/kw and if i had "pay for time of use" plan it would be 0.07/kw for off peek and 0.12/kw for on peek( higher than what i currently pay) - which makes no sense. This would indicated that buying electric car is a mistake from BGE point of view. Right?
My question to all the MD residents is - what is your current setup with BGE (if you have them) and weather or not the information i got was correct or a straight by lie (i think its a lie and ill call back in few hrs)?

BGE offers a rate specifically for EV owners who want to charge their plug-in vehicles at home. The rate is designed so that a typical residential customer would see a very similar bill amount on either the standard flat rate or the EV rate before shifting use to off peak hours. The rates are designed with lower rates in off-peak hours to encourage customers to charge their cars in off-peak hours. The on-peak hours are higher than standard or flat rates, but, under a typical or average residential use pattern, with the mix of on-peak and off-peak hours and rates, the bills would come out to similar amounts. The EV rate offers extended periods of lower rates, 12 to 14 hours on a weekday, and all hours on weekends and national holidays, so the EV owner can charge their car at the lower rates. And, if any other house use (like laundry, dishwashing) can be shifted to off-peak hours, it would come under the lower rate as well.
My team would be happy to answer any specific questions and, if there is enough information available look at your particular situation and do a rate comparison. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected].
