Electric Vehicles
When someone chooses to purchase and charge an EV at home, they are choosing to fuel with HMLP. The profits from increasing electrification are invested into HMLP’s operations to keep HMLP reliable, resilient, and accessible to all ratepayers. HMLP incentivizes efficient charging practices for electric vehicles (EVs) to maximize the benefits that are returned to all ratepayers.

Why is it important to charge off-peak?
Off-peak hours occur when demand for electricity is at its lowest. On-Peak hours tend to begin when commuters get home from work, turn on household items, cook, do laundry, and may also plug in their electric vehicles. When you choose to charge off-peak, you are helping us manage electricity demand and not overload the system.
