While most households struggle to consume that much electricity during the free period, EV charging presents one of the best opportunities to take advantage of the offer. Three-phase chargers paired with compatible vehicles can deliver even greater charging capacity. If charging continues beyond the designated free electricity window, customers will immediately begin paying standard electricity rates. Most EV chargers allow scheduled charging through either the charger itself, the vehicle’s software or a compatible smart charging platform. Installers are encouraging homeowners to use automated scheduling rather than relying on manual operation, particularly as free charging windows vary between states and retailers.
