In-Home L2 Car Charger
They’re available to customers who:
- have a new or used all-electric vehicle (AEV) registered at your GMP account address
- own your home or have landlord approval
- have a smart meter (we can replace your existing analog meter at no cost)
- have reliable internet access to connect the charger to GMP
- enroll the charger in one of GMP’s discounted EV charging rates
Level 2 charging at home typically takes 4-6 hours.
Charging at home saves you time and money. Driving with clean electricity saves over gasoline, and GMP’s discount EV charging rates provide extra savings so charging up is like about $1.20/gallon for gas.
Chargers can be installed to work with your home’s existing electrical service and typically require a 240V outlet.
Later at night or early morning, avoiding peak energy time. You can sign up for GMP’s discount EV charging rates that will help you charge off-peak and save the most. That also helps reduce costs for all GMP customers at the same time!
Give us a call at 888-835-4672! You can either return the charger to us, or the new owner of the home can join the home charging program and use it.
Energy Storage Lease Program
You can choose monthly payments of $55 on your energy statement during the lease or $5,500 one time to cover the entire lease.
No. The program includes energy sharing to the grid from the batteries, as well as charging back up from the grid after energy is shared. This back-and-forth energy flow balances each other out and does not increase your overall usage.
Yes, during an outage Powerwall can recharge with solar energy from a new or existing solar system. This extends your backup power for protection during extended outages.
It is about 24 hours of power and can last longer if you manage your usage. If you have solar at home, that can recharge the batteries and keep you connected even longer. Customers have had power for days through severe storm damage.
When the utility power grid is online, GMP will control your energy storage so you will not be able to customize how your EV is charged. However, during a utility power outage you can not only power your home but if there is surplus energy storage energy, you can top off your EV.
The energy storage is designed not to impact the regular operation of the solar system. Adding energy storage under this program will not change your existing Net Energy Metering (NEM) treatment.
Customers who rely on medical equipment should plan to have a separate source of power for it. Always call 911 if you have a medical emergency.
Energy storage systems can work alongside your generator and won’t power it. Your battery installer can help you with the proper set up.
At the end of 10 years, you owe no more money as part of the program. The energy storage will remain in your home and provide backup power for an additional 5 years or until the end of its useful life. You can also request for the removal of the energy storage once the 10-year program ends. GMP will remove the energy storage at no additional cost to you so that it can be recycled.
Only the owner of the home can participate in the program. If you rent your home, consider asking your landlord if they are willing to participate in the program and install energy storage. The owner of the home would need to pay program charges on their GMP energy statement.
If you are going to sell your home, GMP will work with you to transfer participation to the next homeowner. If the new owner does not wish to participate in the program, participation will need to be cancelled and there will be a $450 charge to remove energy storage.
GMP will own the energy storage. This is necessary for GMP to deliver value to the grid and all customers. You can always purchase energy storage on your own, outside the GMP program.
As the owner of the energy storage, GMP will be responsible. If you experience an issue with your energy storage, you should contact the Green Mountain Power Energy Services Team at 1-888-835-4672. If you choose to install solar with your energy storage, the warranty and maintenance of the solar system will be managed separately from the battery, per the agreements associated with the solar purchase and install.
Your installer can work with you on the best place to install the system for optimal performance, indoors or outdoors.
GMP shared access means we partner with customers to leverage the value of the energy storage to return energy to the grid at peak times to provide cost savings to all our customers.
