Taunton Municipal Lighting Plant

TMLP does not publish a separate per-kilowatt-hour time-of-use rate for EV owners. Instead of an EV tariff, residential customers who want to save on charging enroll in TMLP's off-peak charging credit, which pays a $10 per month bill credit for charging an electric vehicle between 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. The program suits drivers who can reliably schedule overnight charging at home.

TMLP's EV incentives are residential and stack with each other. A $450 customer rebate applies to the purchase or lease of a new or used plug-in vehicle and is paid as a credit on the residential electric bill, and a separate rebate of up to $300 helps offset a Level 2 home charger. Both rebates are tied to a calendar year, and applications received after January 31 of the following year are not honored. The $10 per month off-peak credit is a behavioral program rather than a rate, so it works alongside the equipment rebates. The charger rebate covers new equipment only, installed by a licensed electrician or contractor. TMLP lists no commercial EV charging program.

TMLP is a Massachusetts municipal light plant, not an investor-owned utility, so it is not regulated by the state Department of Public Utilities and is not part of the Eversource, National Grid, or Unitil statewide EV programs. That means the larger investor-owned utility rebates and managed-charging offers do not apply in TMLP territory; EV owners in Taunton should look only to TMLP's own programs, which are administered under the TMLP Drives Electric brand.
