Experience one-stop shopping with PGE+

EV owners looking to improve home charging need look no further than PGE+. This exciting one-stop shop makes finding and installing a Level 2 EV charger amazingly easy. Here’s what you’ll get:

Save even more when charging at home

If you charge at home, you might consider signing up for Time of Day pricing. Simply charge anytime other than 5 to 9 p.m. on weekdays to save.

Need a charge while out and about? You’ll find public charging around the greater Portland and Salem areas.

Instant rebates. Installation through a PGE Approved Contractor, if needed. Expert guidance based on your unique situation. Ongoing bill credits when you enroll in EV Smart Charging even if you already have a qualifying Level 2 charger installed.

Most EVs come with a charger that plugs into a standard wall outlet — just plug in overnight and you’re good to go by morning. Want to speed things up? A Level 2 charger lets you power up 5 to 7 times faster. Check out PGE+ to charge even quicker at home and earn ongoing rewards while you’re at it.
