If you have an electric vehicle (EV), you can now enroll in a new managed charging program offered by Eversource and earn rewards for charging off-peak. Eversource proposed this program way back in December 2024 as part of a mid-term modification of its current EV program (we wrote about this in February 2025), and the DPU issued its order in October 2025. Now, the program is finally live.
About The Program
Enroll with an eligible vehicle and/or eligible smart charging station, earn a $50 enrollment incentive, and then get the chance to earn $10/month. There are two options:
1. Baseline Tier: Earn $10 a month if you do more than 90% of your charging off-peak. (You must complete at least one 15-minute home charging session a month to earn your reward.)
2. Advanced Tier: Earn $10 a month if you set a charging schedule and override it no more than twice. (You must complete at least two 15-minute home charging sessions a month to earn your reward.)
For both tiers, peak hours are considered 1pm to 9pm, so “off-peak” is considered anytime from 9pm to 1pm.
To find out if you are eligible, check this list of eligible devices. For more information and to enroll, visit the program website.
(Reminder: National Grid continues to offer the Off-Peak Charging Rebate program it has offered for years.)
