Below are incentives and programs for members who are interested in helping VEC lower costs and create a cleaner electric grid.

If you purchase your own level II charger, you can receive a $250 incentive if you either 1) set a schedule to not charger from 5-9pm Monday through Friday, or 2) if it is a Flo, ChargePoint, or Emporia, enroll it in VEC's communications platform to receive another $50 upfront incentive and $8/month as long as you do not opt out of events. To receive the $250 incentive, complete and submit this form.
If you do not have a compatible level II charger and would like to participate in the Flexible Load Program, you may be able to enroll your vehicle directly. VEC would send a signal to your vehicle and request that it not charge when we are anticipating peak demand. These events last from 2-4 hours, and your vehicle will resume charging after the event. We will inform you when we're calling an event, and you can opt out if you need to charge during that time period. Participants receive a $50 one-time enrollment incentive and $8/month.
