Understanding Your Monthly Managed Charging Incentives on the Advanced Tier

As an Eversource customer enrolled in the Managed Charging program, you can earn rewards simply by charging your vehicle at times that are better for the electric grid. Your rewards depend on which "Tier" you choose during enrollment.

What are the monthly incentives for the Advanced Tier?

The Advanced Tier is an "active" participation level. Instead of managing the schedule yourself, you let the ev.energy app (or your vehicle telematics) automatically optimize your charging for you.

• Monthly Optimization Reward ($10month): You earn $10 every month (totaling $120 per year) for allowing the program to automatically schedule your charging.

• Requirements:

  • Set a Schedule: You must provide a "Time Charge is Needed" (e.g., "I need my car ready by 7:00 AM").

  • Limit Overrides: To stay eligible for the $10, you must not "Override" or "Boost" your charge more than twice in a single month, resulting in peak charges. During off-peak hours, you have unlimited overrides.

  • Off-Peak Hours: Off-peak hours are 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. 7 days a week, excluding the National holidays.

    When and how will I receive my payments?
    
    
    Managed Charging participation incentives are typically calculated monthly but distributed twice per year (usually in the Spring and Fall).
    
    The April-September Season gets paid in December
    
    The October-March Season gets paid in June
    
    
    Payments are issued via a check sent to your home address.
    Pro Tip: If you want the "set it and forget it" experience with the highest reward, the Advanced Tier is the best option. If you prefer full manual control over every charging session, the Baseline Tier is likely a better fit.
