It's a big, flexible block
A single home charge can be 10–30 kWh — often more than the rest of the day combined. Shift that one block overnight and you've moved real money, not rounding error.

Charge your EV for half price.
On PECO's time-of-use rate, electricity from midnight to 6am costs about half the standard flat rate. An EV is the easiest thing to move into that window — usually one setting in your charging app. That roughly halves what every mile costs you, every night of the year.
We never touch your rate, your bill, or your account. Switching, if you choose it, is between you and PECO.
A kWh overnight vs. what you pay now
That flat rate is the one PECO calls your “Price to Compare.” For a typical driver, moving charging overnight is roughly $210 a year back — about half of what every mile costs you now. PECO supply rates, Jun–Nov 2026; modeled, not a bill guarantee, and for some homes the answer is to stay put.
Wait — which rate am I even on?
If you never picked one, you're on the flat rate.
Time-of-use is a plan you have to opt into — you'd remember doing it. If you didn't, you're on the standard flat rate by default: one price around the clock, about 11.6¢ a kilowatt-hour whether it's 3pm or 3am. That's the number PECO labels your “Price to Compare” — confusing name, simple idea.
Moving your charging to the midnight–6am window cuts it to about half, and nothing else about your day has to change. For most EVs on a home Level 2 charger, that lands around 20 to 30 miles of range an hour — so the six midnight–6am hours alone add roughly 120 to 180 miles, comfortably more than a typical day of driving (your exact numbers depend on your car and charger). Your car wakes up ready, and you never plug in during the day. Set the start time in your app once — that's the whole job.
Why EVs are the easy win
Your car is the most moveable load in the house.
Most of your electricity — the fridge, the wifi, the always-on hum — can't move. Your EV can. That's what makes it the clearest time-of-use opportunity there is.
It runs all year
Unlike summer A/C, you charge in January too. The overnight savings show up every month, which is why EV homes tend to come out ahead year-round rather than seasonally.
It's mostly set-and-forget
Most EVs and chargers let you schedule a start time. Point it past midnight once and the savings are close to automatic — no daily effort, no lifestyle change.
But check first
Would it actually pay off for your home?
The overnight rate only helps if the rest of your usage cooperates. Some homes with heavy weekday-afternoon loads still come out behind on time-of-use, even with an EV. So we measure before you commit to anything.

All-electric home?
An EV isn't the only year-round win.
If your home has no gas — electric heat, electric hot water, electric everything — you have even more flexible load that runs straight through winter. Same free assessment, same honest answer.
