ComEd establishes new programs for electric vehicle use

Posted August 08, 2023 11:00 pm

CHICAGO - ComEd Wednesday joined with regional and municipal leaders to unveil its latest programs designed to accelerate the adoption of electrified electric vehicles in northern Illinois.

As part of ComEd's $231 million investment in new customer programs geared toward removing barriers to electrification, ComEd announced a new EV Charging Delivery Rate option to incentivize the build out of an expanded network of EV charging stations in the region.

This new rate option is available to all nonresidential customers with EV charging and provides them with a cost-effective alternative to demand-based delivery rates. This will help business customers, including mass transit agencies, that are expected to have low charger utilization in the near term as the electrification efforts continue to grow in northern Illinois.

Additionally, ComEd and the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus announced the expansion of a program helping local governments shape plans for EV adoption. The EV Readiness program welcomes 15 new communities to the 16 existing members who now work together to develop policies and programs to safely integrate EVs and EV charging programs in their communities.
