Are you considering purchasing an electric vehicle (EV)? You’re not alone. More and more people are making the switch to electric vehicles as the technology improves and costs decrease. Driving an EV is good for the environment and easy on the wallet. Flint Energies is excited to support EV adoption through our Go EVwhere program.

- Participating vehicles will receive an incentive twice per year, once after the summer season (May – September) and once after the winter season (December – February)
- Members are encouraged to avoid charging their enrolled EVs during the on-peak times of 2-8PM each day of the summer season and 5-10AM each day of the winter season.
- The incentive will be a $8/month bill credit, multiplied by the number of months the member successfully avoided off-peak charging in that season.
- Each participating EV will be allowed up to two (2) opt-outs per month, with an opt-out meaning the participating member charged during the on-peak time.
- Members may choose to charge during on-peak times; however, charging for three (3) times or more during on-peak hours will forfeit the incentive for that month.
- Members that use more than two (2) opt-outs per month for more than two (2) months during the summer or winter season may be removed from the program by Flint Energies. Flint Energies also reserves the right to remove any EV or member from the program at any time for lack of participation.
- Members that want to remove themselves or an EV from the program can email energyservices@flintemc.com. No bill credit will be sent for the month you opt out.
