PEV Off-Peak Savers Program - ($500 Rebate)

Explore This Section

BWL Residential Electric Vehicle Charging Program provides rebates to help offset the costs associated with the installation of home charging stations. If you or your licensed electrical contractor have technical questions, please contact a BWL engineer to set up an inspection prior to installation at EVProgram@lbwl.com or call 517-702-6587.

You could qualify for up to a $500 Rebate from the BWL, if you:

  • Install a Level 2 charger,
    • Only one charger per location. Multiple chargers will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
  • Are a current BWL electric service customer in good standing,
  • Enroll your account in Off-Peak Savers residential electric rate, a whole home time of use (TOU) rate which incentivizes using electricity during times when overall energy usage is low, between 8pm and 1pm. Call 517-702-6006 and ask to enroll in the Off-Peak Savers rate.  
    • Additional details on Off-Peak Savers can be found on our Rate Sheet – Rate Code: RESTOU.

Note: Residential customers who want to install a hardwired charging station up to 60 amperes (amp) service do not require prior approval from BWL. However, any hardwired charging station that is above a 60 Amp service will need to receive prior approval from BWL. For EV charger installations above a 60 amp service, BWL will approve the installation on a case-by-case basis. BWL reserves the right to reject a rebate for an EV charger with > 60 amp service or require the customer to charge the vehicle at less than 60 amps to qualify for the rebate.
