transformer upgrades,
• new meter
• This new line of service will only serve EV charging
• Utility provides: • new service panel• conduit and wiring• trenching• associated site
work
• Utility owns and maintains “Make Ready,” including EVservice connection up to the “stub” of the charging equipment
• Customer can choose for pre-qualified equipment;
• Prepay for equipment• Pay in monthly charge
(provided by utility• Customers enrolled in time-
varying rate and encouraged to participate in smart charging programs, as they become available
• Customer would determine public charging rates (if applicable)
