If you don't meet basic eligibility requirements for the rate, you'll be unable to submit your application and the enrollment form will have a message indicating why.

If you are eligible, you'll be able to submit your application with a copy of your electric vehicle state registration document. A DLC team member will review your EV registration document to ensure it matches the name and address on your DLC service address. If additional information is needed, a DLC team member will reach out to you within three business days. After your application is approved, the rate will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle.

If you're able to shift your electricity use, such as large appliance use and electric vehicle charging, away from peak times to off-peak times, including nights and weekends, this rate may be right for you.

Time-of-Use Rates may not be appropriate for customers that cannot change the time of day that they rely on electricity, such as those with medical devices that require electricity or customers who are home during peak hours. If you are a low-income customer, other programs and assistance may be available to help you to afford your bill.  Visit DLC's Payment Assistance webpage or contact us at  1-888-393-7600 for more information or to apply for assistance.

Yes, to enroll in the EV Time-of-Use Distribution Rate, customers must also enroll in DLC's Time-of-Use Supply Rate or be enrolled in a supply rate with an Electric Generation Supplier. Customers cannot be enrolled in DLC’s standard default service rate if enrolling in the EV Time-of-Use Distribution Rate.

After you enroll, you may cancel your enrollment in the EV Time-of-Use Distribution rate anytime and instead select DLC’s standard distribution rate. Once you cancel your enrollment, you may not re-enroll in the rate for at least one year. If you are also enrolled in the Time-of-Use Supply Rate, you will remain enrolled in it unless you also cancel your enrollment in that rate. 

To cancel either rate, email EnergyShift@duqlight.com with your name, service address, and account number. 

The EV Time-of-Use Distribution Rate will only apply to your distribution charges and does not affect any other charges you may see on your monthly electric bill, such as supply charges. These distribution charges will be listed on the final page of your electric bill, under “DLC Charges,” and will be broken out by peak and off-peak.
