EVsmart Program General Questions Why is Delmarva Power offering this program? In 2013, along with nine other states, Maryland signed a memorandum of understanding on Zero-Emission Vehicle programs. The EVsmart Program fits into this directive and will propel progress on the state’s Air Quality and Chesapeake Bay goals. These include having 300,000 zero-emission vehicles on the road by 2025. Studies show that to meet this goal, approximately 125,000 electric vehicles (EVs) would need to be added to Delmarva Power’s service territory and about 27,000 public chargers would be needed. By offering the EVsmart Program, Delmarva Power hopes to encourage more customers to adopt the EV lifestyle. How is the EVsmart Program being funded? The cost of the EVsmart Program will be recovered through electric service rates in a future regulatory rate review with the Maryland Public Service Commission.

You can purchase an approved Level 2 smart charger directly from a manufacturer or through an online retailer. What are the benefits of a Level 2 smart charger? With a Level 2 smart charger, you can charge your EV up to 6 times faster than with a standard Level 1 charger using a wall outlet, adding up to 20 miles of range per hour of charging. You can also set charging reminders, schedule charging, and track energy usage right from your smart charger app. In addition, select Level 2 smart charger models allow you to manage home charging with just the sound of your voice using Amazon Alexa. How much does the average charger and installation cost? The average Level 2 smart charger costs $500–$600. Installation costs can vary from $200 to $1,000, depending on your electrician and the extent of the work required. Who will install my charger? A qualified independent electrician can install your Level 2 smart charger for you. When will I receive my rebate? Once Delmarva Power receives a completed application and confirms the Level 2 smart charger is connected to the network, you can expect your rebate check in approximately 4 to 6 weeks. How quickly can a Level 2 smart charger charge my EV? This depends on the size of your EV’s battery and how depleted the battery is. An average EV can get a full charge in 4 to 6 hours using a Level 2 smart charger. Will my electric bill increase? Charging an EV will increase your home’s energy use, so your bills are likely to rise. However, the cost of electricity is much lower than the cost of gasoline per mile traveled, so you could save 15% or more on fuel costs. These savings can be higher if you take advantage of off-peak charging rates and/or special utility EV rates. What other incentives are available? As a Delmarva Power customer, you could see additional savings on your home charger and installation through rebates and incentives offered by the Maryland Energy Administration.
