What is the difference between Whole House and an Electric Vehicle Time-of-Use rate?

Both Whole House* and Electric Vehicle Time-of-Use Rates utilize the same time periods and the same on-, off- and mid-peak electric rates. The difference is that the Whole House rate applies to all the energy consumption in your home, where the EV Time-of-Use rate applies only to the consumption used for EV charging.

Customers do not need to get EV Time-of-Use to charge their EV if they have Whole House Time-of-Use, but they may choose to keep their home on the standard rate and charge their EV on a separate EV Time-of-Use meter.

*Whole House Time-of-Use Rates are currently only available to New Hampshire residential customers.
