Electric car owners getting a bill break from Appalachian Power program
Appalachian Power is offering a discount to electric car owners who charge their vehicles during lower demand hours.
An Associated Press report says the deal is part of a pilot program recently approved by the State Corporation Commission.
The company said in a news release that residential customers with a typical electric car consumption of 2,700 kilowatt-hours a year will save about $86.50 on home charging when they plug in during off-peak hours. There are about 700 plug-in electric cars registered in Appalachian’s Virginia service area.
