Plug in with ChargeWise—LREC’s New Electric Vehicle Rate
They may be few in number now, but electric vehicles (EV’s) have arrived in the lakes area. Electric vehicle owners can save money every time they charge their car with LREC’s new ChargeWise EV rate. ChargeWise is a time-of-use rate, which allows you to choose what time to charge your car and how much you pay. The least expensive off-peak rate of 7.07₵ is available more than 60% of the time and is the equivalent of $.70 per gallon gas, if the car gets 30 MPG.
