City of Dover (Delaware)

The City of Dover does not publish an EV-specific or residential time-of-use electric rate. Its rate schedules effective July 1, 2025 cover residential (Schedule R), small commercial, and larger commercial and industrial demand-metered classes, all billed at a flat per-kWh energy charge plus a monthly customer charge rather than by time of day. That means a Dover EV owner pays the same rate to charge overnight as during the afternoon, so there is no rate-based incentive to shift charging to off-peak hours.

Dover does not offer its own residential or commercial EVSE rebate or a managed-charging program. The incentives a Dover resident can use come from the state instead: DNREC's Clean Vehicle and EV charging equipment rebates, and Energize Delaware's residential charger installation rebates. Because those are state programs open across Delaware, enrollment does not depend on Dover utility membership, and there is no Dover program that stacks with or excludes them.

Dover is a municipal utility, not an investor-owned one, so it sits outside Delaware Public Service Commission rate regulation and is governed locally through the city. It buys and manages power through DEMEC, the joint action agency of Delaware municipal electric systems. Customers should not assume Delmarva Power's EV rate and rebate offers apply here; Dover's territory is served entirely by the city utility, and Delmarva's EV programs are not available to Dover electric customers.
