Commercial customer enrolling on Schedule EV-C will have a new EV-C meter exclusive for EV charging. The customer's existing load will remain on existing meter(s). There is no charge to install the new meter, but there is a $5.00 monthly metering charge. The customer must hire a licensed electrician to install and connect the new meter infrastructure. To encourage Off-Peak vehicle charging, lower rates will be offered from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. on weekdays and all weekend.

For commercial customers on Oahu, the Off-Peak EV charge rate for non-demand customers will be around five cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) below the standard. Charging during On-Peak times will be possible, but at about two cents per kWh above the standard commercial rate.
Schedule EV-C is also available for EV demand service. The Off-Peak EV charge rate for demand customers will be around one cent per kilowatt hour (kWh) below the Schedule J rate. The On-Peak rate is two cents above the standard. Only On-Peak demand affects billing demand charges.
A permit will be required for the electrical work for the installation of the new, separate meter for EV-C. Permit closure is required before EV-C rate enrollment. Vehicle registration is required if the rate is for customer- owned EVs. Otherwise, the customer must certify the EVSE is for public, tenant, or employee charging.
