Oregon has this too, but we have a road use fee system that allows us to just pay for the miles we drive. So we can pay the standard registration fee that an ICE car pays, and just pay our road usage fees quarterly.

Off-peak is $.0445 per kWh with Portland General Electric (PGE) in Portland, Oregon.

I also get a $25 rebate each month for enrolling my home charger in PGE’s Smart Charging program, which allows PGE to control the rate of charge on my EV overnight. I get a $25 rebate each month if my charger participates in a minimum number of charging “events” (2 to 4-hour long windows where the rate of charge is reduced somewhat).

Given how few miles I drive my 2013 Leaf (487 miles per month on average) and how often my car participates in the Smart Charging events, I’m basically being paid to charge my car.

Oh, and my ChargePoint EV charger and panel upgrade were also paid for with a PGE rebate.
