PEPCO Incentives for Electric Vehicle Owners in Maryland and DC

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

PEPCO has an Electric Vehicle (EV) Program for residential customers in Maryland. It is open to all qualified residents throughout the state. You can participate in the program if your electric vehicle is registered in Maryland.

This program was created to encourage off-peak vehicle charging. The benefits include lower off-peak electric rates for charging during the 16 hours of off-peak hours available Monday through Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. This policy lightens the load and strain on the electric grid which improves the reliability for everyone. It also encourage the shift to clean energy which will reduce car emissions. And if you choose to charge your car with solar panels, you will achieve an even greater impact.

Another way you can make a difference is by shifting your energy usage to night time. Run your big appliances at night. Wash and dry your clothes at night. Run your dishwasher at night. Again, this will lower the burden on our power plants and it will also lower your electric bill too.

In DC, PEPCO is proposing special incentives to owner’s of electric vehicles. The program will offer lower electric rates to owners of EVs that charge their cars during off-peak hours. Some customers will also qualify for discounts on Level 2 smart charging stations that includes 100% of the cost of installation. For commercial property owners, PEPCO will install charging stations at a discount and they will also install them for free. PEPCO is also planning to install 20 fast charging stations along the main roads and in each Ward and in each quadrant of the city. Finally, PEPCO will be creating a $1,000,000 fund that is designed to provide grants for people and organizations with ideas that can help encourage a greater shift towards electric cars.

Let’s also help PEPCO increase electrification by considering a shift towards renewable sources from solar panels. Please contact us via this website or call us at (410) 923-6090. We have hundreds of installations throughout the Baltimore/Washington/Annapolis area. We look forward to helping you too.

Incentives for Electric and Hybrid Cars in DC

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Washington DC’s government is encouraging the ownership of electric and hybrid cars with incentives that will save you time and money. For one, if you own an electric vehicle, you are exempt from emissions testing. If your car emits nothing, there is nothing to test. You simply need to register it with the DMV in DC. And if your car is a hybrid that is both electric and gas powered, you only need to pass a smog test. For questions about this, you can call the DC Department of Motor Vehicles at (202) 737-4404.

Fuel Efficient Cars get Reduced Registration Fees

You can also qualify for a discount on the first-time vehicle registration for a qualifying electric, hybrid or clean fuel vehicle. Their rules state that your car must get at least 40 miles per gallon in city driving. Check www.fueleconomy.gov to see how your car rates. You also must be the original owner of the car. If your car is used, you are eligible for the excise tax exemption. This exemption is the tax you pay upon purchase of a vehicle. So, the exemption can be a nice savings for you.

You might also qualify for federal tax credits. Eligible cars include electric, hybrid, plug-in hybrids, diesels and alternative fuel vehicles. Ask your accountant about how this might benefit you. And another benefit is that your insurance company might offer a discount. If they don’t, you might want to call around to find a carrier that does. These savings can really add up.

And finally, if your business has a fleet of 10 or more clean fuel automobiles, you can qualify for an exemption to the HOV lane. Again, call the DC DMV at (202) 737-4404 to find out about this benefit. Going electric and fuel efficient will put you in the fast lane in so many ways.

And, of course, we are always available to help you power your electric car with solar panels at your home, in your community or at your business. Please contact us if you have questions about generating most, or all, of your energy from solar.
