Frequently Asked Questions

How do I join EV Miles?
Program your car or charger to charge only during off-peak hours: 10 PM to 12 noon, Monday through Friday and anytime on weekends. Complete the online EV Miles Enrollment Form. You will receive an email to let you know when your enrollment has been approved.

My family has more than one EV. May I enroll each EV in the EV Miles Program?
Yes!

There is a shared EV charging station located on-site for use by all residents at the multi-dwelling unit property where I live. May I enroll in the EV Miles Program?
You may enroll in the EV Miles Program if you have installed a Level 2 charging system for your exclusive use at your parking space. You must document your Level 2 charging system installation by applying for and receiving an EV Level 2 Rebate from CMLP before you enroll in the EV Miles Program. 

How do I program my vehicle?
If you need help programming your vehicle, contact the Concord Drives Electric EV Support Specialists via our toll-free support line (833-433-8363) or via a support request.

Why does CMLP offer the EV Miles Program?
By charging your EV during off-peak hours, you help reduce peak demand charges incurred by CMLP, keeping all customers’ bills lower. Peak demand charges refer to the extra cost for electricity during weekday afternoons and early evenings, when there is the greatest call for electricity throughout the regional electric grid.

I’m already on CMLP’s Residential Time of Use Rate (TOU Rate) for EV charging. May I participate in the EV Miles Program also?
You may subscribe to CMLP’s TOU Rate or participate in the EV Miles Program, but not both. If you have not already incurred the expense associated with installing a second meter in order to subscribe to the TOU rate for EV charging, the EV Miles Program will be more financially advantageous and easier to participate in.

What if I need to charge on-peak in an emergency?
You may charge during the daytime (weekdays, 12 PM to 10 PM) up to 3 times each month, in case of emergency, with the following exception: CMLP will enroll all EV Miles Program participants in our peak demand reduction Google group, which will allow us to send you an email when peak demand is predicted – typically on several hot weekday afternoons or early evenings from June 1st through September 15th each year. If you receive a peak demand reduction notification, you may not charge on-peak for emergency purposes during the time periods described in the notification.

How does CMLP determine whether EV Miles Program participants are charging off peak?
By monitoring electricity usage data.
