Autumn 2020 marked the launch of Southwestern Electric Cooperative’s EV Program—an initiative to promote EV education in cooperative communities. As part of the program, Southwestern offers a $200 bill credit to members who install Level 2 EV chargers.
All brands are eligible for the offer. Rebate forms are available here.
Southwestern Electric is working with its software system developer to program EV charging incentive rates. Rates will be structured to reward EV owners, with margin enough to fund infrastructure improvements.
Until incentive rates are in place, EVs will charge at a member’s existing electric rate. “For example, if you’re on Southwestern’s Residential Rate, your vehicle will charge on that rate until our EV rates are in place,” explained Julie Lowe, EV program coordinator.
For more information about the EV Pilot Program, contact Julie Lowe, program coordinator, at (800) 637-8667 or julie.lowe@sweci.com.
