EV Charging Rates in Oregon
The state of Oregon dictates that regulated utilities must offer time-of-use (TOU) electricity rates for EV owners. By enrolling in a time-of-use program, you can unlock a discounted rate by charging your EV during off-peak hours.
Below is a list of utilities offering TOU programs for EV charging. Contact your utility provider for the latest information on their specific electricity rate plans.
Special EV Charging Rates from Oregon Utilities
If you take advantage of one of the Pacific Power EV rebates on chargers, you’ll be automatically enrolled into the utility’s time-of-use program. If you charge your EV between 5 and 9 PM, you’ll pay an on-peak rate of 6.124 cents per kWh in the summer and 3.316 cents per kWh in the winter. For every kWh you use during off-peak hours, you’ll earn a 1.125 cents credit, bringing your rate as low as 2.191 cents per kWh in the winter.
Pacific Power also offers a time-of-use pricing option for non-residential customers. If you join this program, you’ll receive a credit of 1.438 cents per kWh used during off-peak hours, resulting in an electric rate as low as 2.927 cents per kWh in the winter.
Portland General Electric offers a time-of-use program with rates that range from 8.39 cents per kWh during off-peak hours to 41.11 cents per kWh during on-peak hours on weekdays. EV owners can cut charging costs by 80% by taking advantage of off-peak pricing, and the utility offers an additional $25 credit if you participate in a program that automatically pauses EV charging during peak periods.
Idaho Power is the third regulated utility in the state of Oregon. While this utility doesn’t have any incentives on EVs or chargers, you can join its time-of-use program and pay 12.6130 cents per kWh in the summer and 7.8907 cents per kWh in the winter for EV charging during off-peak hours.
Rather than offering a time-of-use rate, the Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative will give you a $15 monthly bill credit if you join the utility’s EV charging program and plug your EV in only between 10 PM and 6 AM.
