- NRG makes it easier to own and drive an EV with a no-cost home charger and lower-priced, off-peak charging -

NRG, one of the nation’s leading electricity and natural gas suppliers, now offers an energy plan designed to make it easier for customers to own and charge their electric vehicles (EVs) and to facilitate greater adoption of EVs. It is the first such plan available to electricity customers who live within select utilities in Pennsylvania and Maryland.

NRG’s EV Power Charger plan includes a Level 2 at-home EV charger at no-cost and reduced-price energy at night and early morning, when most EV owners typically charge their vehicles.

“We’re excited to roll out our EV Power Charger plan and help remove potential barriers to owning an EV,” said Bucky Gardner, Vice President and General Manager of NRG Home East. “At NRG, we believe in giving customers the power to choose their electricity supplier and a plan that fits their lifestyle. With this first-of-its-kind plan, our customers are in the driver’s seat.”

Here’s how the time-of-use portion of the plan works. Customers who charge their electric vehicles and use appliances between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., when demand is lowest, will receive lower electricity supply prices.

For those on the fence about getting an EV, the convenience of efficient charging at home along with lower-cost, time-of-use pricing, can help people decide to take that step to buy an EV and is what makes NRG’s EV Power Charger Plan so unique.

Level 2 EV chargers typically take between three and eight hours, depending on the range of the vehicle, to fully charge a vehicle. The charger is compatible with most EVs, although Tesla owners would need a separate adapter.
