How to ‘fill up’ your EV
Electric Vehicles (EV) must be connected to an electrical system to charge. The amount of time it takes to charge your vehicle will depend on your charger and vehicle.
EV chargers are classified into three categories: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3/Direct Current Fast-Charging (DCFC). These chargers use different input voltages, Level 1 uses 110/120V, Level 2 uses 208/240V – both of which are available in residential homes. Level 3 DC fast chargers use between 200- and 600-volts DC, which requires the level of power available at commercial sites.

III. Charging and your Alectra Utilities bill
If you have an electric vehicle that you charge at home overnight, the Ultra-Low Overnight price plan may be best for you, because you’ll be able to take advantage of the very low-priced overnight period.

ULO pricing is based on the day of the week and time of day electricity is used, but with an ultra-low overnight rate that encourages shifting high electricity-usage activities to the lower overnight demand periods. Visit Choose My Rate Option to help you make an informed choice about which electricity price plan is right for you and to submit a rate option selection form.
