To qualify for the Charging Forward rebate, you must use one of the listed EV charger network providers.  But, DTE Energy does not endorse any EV network providers or its products, services, or opinions.  Each participating EV charger network provider is an independent company that sets its own pricing, terms and conditions, which may include a requirement that the charger display advertising on its charging stations.  Some or all of the listed EV charger network providers may be unable or unwilling to provide services to you. Other EV charger network providers may be available in your area and you are free to use those providers, but you would not then qualify for a Charging Forward rebate. By clicking any of these links, you will leave dteenergy.com and be transferred to a third-party website not affiliated with DTE Energy.

The EV Plan is beneficial if your home's current electrical panel does not have capacity for the additional load required by a Level 2 charger.
Applying to all energy used at your home, including your EV charger, this plan features a lower energy rate Monday through Friday from 7 pm to 11 am and/or during the weekend.
The Time-of-Day plan helps you save if your energy consumption patterns are flexible. Manage most of your energy usage - including charging your EV and running appliances like your washer, dryer and dishwasher – on weekdays between 7 pm to 11 am and during weekends for lower energy costs.
DPP is a three-tiered rate that allows customers with flexible energy consumption patterns to save money on their bill.
By shifting your home energy usage, including EV charging, to “off-peak” hours (11 pm – 7 am Monday - Friday, weekends and holidays), you reduce energy costs. During times of extremely high demand for electricity, a Critical Peak Pricing event may be called. During an event, the cost of electricity rises. Learn more about Dynamic Peak Pricing.
