ChargeSmart and FlexCharge are also separate programs but have been designed to work together to significantly amplify your savings when used in combination.
ChargeSmart is an optional EV time-of-use (TOU) rate (Rider EVCP). Residential customers enrolled in ChargeSmart receive a $4/month bill credit for the first 12 billing periods, a Preferred Charging Period (PCP) delivery credit for energy used during off-peak hours (11 PM – 7 AM), and a Peak Hourly Delivery Charge for energy used during the Non-Preferred Charging Period (NPCP) (11 AM – 7 PM).
FlexCharge automates the response to those price signals. WeaveGrid schedules your charging to align with the ChargeSmart Preferred Charging Period (PCP), so you earn the delivery credits without having to manually manage your charging.
ChargeSmart rewards you for charging off-peak, and FlexCharge makes sure you actually do it — automatically. You can enroll in both programs simultaneously to layer benefits.
Note for 'Rooftop solar charging' users: If you are enrolled in ChargeSmart and use the 'Rooftop solar charging' add-on in FlexCharge, be aware that solar hours (typically 11 AM – 3 PM) fall within ChargeSmart's Non-Preferred Charging Period (NPCP). Charging during this window may result in a Peak Hourly Delivery Charge on your bill. If maximizing your ChargeSmart savings is your priority, we recommend not enabling the 'Rooftop solar charging' add-on when enrolled in ChargeSmart.
