Will you be purchasing an e-vehicle in the near future? 

One of the things that you will need is a charging device.  Just as there are several different models and types of e-vehicles on the market there are also several different charging options.  The 240V hard-wired charger can be installed on off-peak and may qualify for a rebate.  Is an e-vehicle right for you?

Just as there are different types of electric vehicles, there are 3 different types of chargers, differentiated by how fast they can charge the battery.

Electric Vehicle Basics

  • Lowest cost EV charger option after rebate.
  • Once installed you will have a readily available EV charger when needed.
  • No extra equipment is necessary to participate in load control during peak times.  
  • The ZEFNET EV charger is compatible with existing and future Polk-Burnett programs.

The following will vary on actual car used, charging station used, temperature, and time of charge:

Generally for every 1 kWh of electricity you will get a charge of 3 miles.

Example:   6 kW 240V charger - 1 hour of electricity use will get you a charge of approximately 18 miles.

The technology is similar to Ground Fault Circuit Interruptors (GFCI) found inside your home to protect you from electrical shocks.

Polk-Burnett allows you to put your hard-wired 240V e-vehicle charger on off-peak at the dual fuel rate if applicable.   Charging times will vary depending on the off-peak setup.  Call Polk-Burnett 800-421-0283 ext. 595 to see if your charger qualifies for off-peak and if it is feasible for your individual use.
