FY2024 EV Charging Rates

Rate Setting

While the Town has made an investment of time and location to provide electric vehicle charging stations it is essential that the program become self-sustaining. Therefore reasonable rates for the use of the electric vehicle charging stations will be set and charged to users. These rates are updated annually and approved by the Select Board.

The fee will be comprised of three components, the rate and administrative fee components (reflected in the per-kWh fee), and a separate potential parking fee component (potentially included at some stations)

1. A rate component is based on the Commercial General Service rate, set by the utility company, for the Level 2 charging stations.
2. An administrative fee component is comprised of capital costs, operating costs, taxes, third-party networking fees, maintenance costs, and any applicable adjustments.
3. A parking fee component may be required by the site host. Currently, Erving Public EV Program locations do not have parking fees.
