FAQs
Who is eligible?
EV Connect station owners located in New York or California with PG&E, SCE, or SDG&E as a utility.
How much will I earn?
It depends on how effective charging load is reduced compared to non-event days, and the real-time electricity price of the energy markets in California and New York. We estimate that you may be able to earn up to $24/kW/year in California and $60/kW/year in New York.
How will EV Connect curtail charging?
Based on your charging equipment firmware and your own preferences, you can either choose to reduce the power rating of your EV charger, or add an on-peak pricing during event periods to incentivize drivers to defer charging.
Dispatch and surge pricing scheduling is an automated process handled by EV Connect. You will not have to proactively do anything to participate during the event.
When do I need to be enrolled?
We recommend to enroll by April 30. Summer events are usually most lucrative and start in May.
Will I get notified?
Yes, we will send you an email after we receive event notification from grid service event aggregator. You will be notified the day prior to the event.
Can I opt out an event?
Yes, you can opt out of events.
How many events will there be and how long are events?
Events will last 1-4 hours between the hours of 4 - 9 pm. They have only occurred during times of grid stress, typically on very cold or very hot days, and sometimes can happen a few days in a row. For example, there were three dispatch events in New York in 2018, but no events in 2019 or 2020.
I am a participant of the SCE Charge Ready Program; can I also enroll?
No. All SCE Charge Ready projects are required to participate in the Charge ready demand response program for 3 years before becoming eligible for other grid service programs.
