Has anyone tried signing up for the Clearview Energy's Free Charge EV (on Weekends) plan with Eversource? The charge cannot exceed 250 kWh per billing period.
Clearview Energy Plan with EverSource price
For a Model 3, its about 4 miles per kWh. So it would be capped at 1000 miles per month which is a lot for most of us.
Looks like a chargepoint charger is required for this for now. But they are planning to allow other wifi chargers soon. I have sent them an email about the new Tesla wifi charger as well. I guess they need a wifi charger so that they can track how much charge was used on the EV so that they can give you the refund for it. The process is a little cumbersome however. You will still pay Eversource your monthly bill and then every quarter Clearview will reimburse you with a check for the electricity used for charging. And only generation portion will be refunded not the transmission or distribution charge.
Here are more details from their website:
ChargePoint® is a leading provider of electrical vehicle “EV” charging.
ChargePoint sends data to Clearview Energy which is used to reimburse you for the kWh EV charging that occurs between 7PM Friday and 7AM Monday with a monthly cap of 250 kWh.
Clearview Energy offers a $75 towards rebate towards a new ChargePoint® Residential EV Charger with the completion of an enrollment with the ClearCharge Energy Plan.
*Free weekend charging, is defined as reimbursement of the Energy Only (does not include any applicable transmission, distribution, or fixed charges on the Distribution Utility’s portion of the bill, or any Clearview Base Fee) charges for kilowatt hours “kWh” used between 7PM Friday to 7AM Monday in the time zone for which customers billing zip code is located. Total number of reimbursed Energy Only kilowatt hours cannot exceed 250 kWh per billing period.
Reimbursement will be in the form of a check issued 4 to 6 weeks after calendar quarter end. You must be an active Clearview customer at the end of the calendar period to receive reimbursement for the weekend charging. If your electric service is disconnected for any reason, or should you elect to switch to another Clearview Energy plan, your accrued free weekend charging will not be reimbursed. Free weekend through Clearview Energy is subject to all ChargePoint Terms of Use, and you must have activated the ChargePoint Service authorizing CharegPoint to share charging data with Clearview Energy. Your ChargePoint device must maintain internet connection in order to transmit charging data.
**$75 cash back will be in the form of a check issued 6 to 8 weeks after successful sign-up with a CLEAR Charge Clearview Energy plan, activation of the Chargepoint Service for a unit purchased in the last 90 days, and authorizing CharegPoint to share charging data with Clearview Energy. If your electric service is disconnected for any reason, or should you elect to switch to another Clearview Energy plan, you will not qualify for reimbursement.
