Drive an EV? Save with MGE's Charge Ahead

Customers can earn rewards by charging "off-peak." 

If you drive an electric vehicle (EV), consider joining MGE's Charge Ahead program—and get rewarded.  

Participating customers (on a standard rate) who charge their EVs during off-peak hours at least 80% of the time can earn up to $60 per year. (Customers on MGE's Time-of-Use rate maximize their off-peak charging to optimize utility cost savings but do not receive monthly rewards.)

With smart charging, customers set a charging schedule, and their EV is ready by the time they need it. MGE's Charge Ahead program uses a software platform to communicate with the EV. This allows MGE to optimize when the vehicle is charging, shifting to times when the grid is less busy or when renewable energy is more productive.

By working with customers, MGE is able to shift charging to periods when demand for electricity is lower—and typically lower cost. Plus, your participation will help MGE explore ways to meet the needs of EV drivers in the future and plan for the impact of EVs on our electric grid.

Additional models have been added to the Charge Ahead program. Visit mge.com/chargeahead to learn more and to enroll.
