Plug in with ChargeWise— Electric Vehicle Rates

They may be few in number now, but electric vehicles (EVs) have arrived in the lakes area. Electric vehicle owners can save money every time they charge their car with LREC’s ChargeWise EV rates. There are two rate options in ChargeWise: a time-of-use rate, which allows you to choose what time to charge your car and how much you pay; the other is our storage rate, which is the lowest cost option, but only allows charging during certain hours.
