Ohio Edison Company

Ohio Edison does not publish an EV-specific residential time-of-use rate. Residential customers with a FirstEnergy-installed smart meter can instead opt into the voluntary Time-of-Day Option under the Generation Service Rider, a PUCO-approved time-varying rate split into three periods: midday peak (2 p.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays), shoulder peak (6 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays), and off peak (all other hours, including overnight, weekends and six holidays). EV owners use it by charging overnight and on weekends. The per-kWh prices are set in the Rider GEN tariff and change when the generation price is reset, most recently on June 1, 2026; they are generation energy charges only, so the capacity charge, distribution charges and other riders come on top. For commercial sites, Rider EVC lets publicly available charging stations swap demand-based charges for a per-kWh charge, with the rider's net monthly charge capped at $0 so it can lower the bill but never raise it.

Ohio Edison does not have a confirmed utility-funded rebate for home or commercial EV charging equipment on its own pages, so there is no rebate that stacks with the Time-of-Day Option or Rider EVC. The federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit (30C), which customers previously relied on for charger costs, ended June 30, 2026 and is no longer available. The Time-of-Day Option itself requires a FirstEnergy-installed smart meter and that you take generation from the utility rather than a competitive supplier.

Ohio is a deregulated electricity market, so Ohio Edison handles distribution while generation can come from a competitive retail supplier. The Time-of-Day Option is a generation-side rate, which means it only applies to customers who buy generation from the utility under the Standard Service Offer and not to those who have switched to a competitive supplier. This is the single most important caveat for an EV owner: shopping for a third-party supplier removes you from the time-varying rate. Rider EVC is limited to charging open to the general public; fleet depots and workplace charging for company-owned vehicles stay on the standard commercial rates.
