FlexCharge is available to all eligible residential customers on the DS-1 standard residential rate. The financial benefits you experience will depend on which optional rider, if any, you are enrolled in.
- DS-1 (Standard Residential Rate)
DS-1 is a flat rate where electricity prices remain consistent regardless of the time of day. While DS-1 customers don't have time-varying pricing, FlexCharge still provides the convenience of automated, scheduled charging, helping you shift to overnight hours with ease while receiving program incentives.

- ChargeSmart – Rider EVCP (Time of Use)
Customers enrolled in ChargeSmart will see the greatest financial benefit from pairing it with FlexCharge. ChargeSmart rewards you for shifting your EV charging and other household electric usage to the Preferred Charging Period (PCP) (11 PM – 7 AM) through bill credits, while the highest hour of household usage that falls within the Non-Preferred Charging Period (NPCP) (11 AM – 7 PM) incurs an additional peak hourly delivery charge. FlexCharge automatically schedules your charging to maximize Preferred Charging Period (PCP) credits and minimize Non-Preferred Charging Period (NPCP) charges, making the combination a powerful tool for reducing your EV charging costs.

- Power Smart Pricing – Rider PSP (Hourly Pricing)
Customers enrolled in Power Smart Pricing will also benefit from pairing it with FlexCharge. Power Smart Pricing is an hourly supply rate program where electricity prices vary hour by hour based on actual market prices set the night before. The more you shift your charging and other household usage to lower-priced hours, the more you can save. FlexCharge's automated scheduling naturally targets those lower-cost windows, helping you reduce charging costs without manually managing when you plug in.
