Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co
Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co (OG&E) serves about 910,000 customers across most of Oklahoma and part of western Arkansas. The utility offers a residential EV-specific TOU rate (SmartHours Overnight, R-EV-TOU) with super off-peak pricing of 2.70 cents per kWh overnight, and a commercial/general-service EV-TOU pilot rate (GS-EV-TOU) that closed to new subscriptions June 1, 2026. No dedicated managed-charging or direct-load-control program for EVs exists; OG&E uses TOU pricing as its primary demand management tool.

Residential OG&E customers in Oklahoma and Arkansas (Arkansas customers may not receive Critical tier events). Uses day-ahead variable peak pricing: OG&E publishes the next day's peak tier (Low/Standard/High/Critical) in advance, so customers can plan charging accordingly. Peak rate varies by tier. OG&E's published 2026 prices (fuel included, riders and taxes excluded) are 7 cents/kWh off-peak in Oklahoma and 6 cents in Arkansas; Oklahoma peak tiers are 10 (Low), 18 (Standard), 32 (High) and 54 (Critical) cents/kWh, plus 56 cents/kWh during Critical Events. These all-in figures are not comparable to the base-rate cents shown for the Overnight plan.

General-service OG&E customers in Oklahoma using a separate meter solely for EV charging, with annual maximum demand under 10 kW, or from 10 kW up to 400 kW with a load factor under 25%. Closed to new subscriptions June 1, 2026, and the tariff is intended to expire with the final order of the next general rate case after that date. Customer charge $50.95 per month. Summer rates: super off-peak (11:00 pm to 6:00 am) 0.69 cents/kWh, off-peak 1.37 cents/kWh, peak 31.80 cents/kWh; winter: super off-peak 1.83 cents/kWh, other hours 3.89 cents/kWh for the first 1,000 kWh and 3.65 cents/kWh above that.
OG&E's primary EV charging rate is the SmartHours Overnight plan (tariff R-EV-TOU, Schedule 3.60), available to Oklahoma residential customers who use electricity in conjunction with charging electric vehicles. During the summer season, weekday peak hours (June 1 through September 30) run 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at 27.50 cents per kWh, while a super off-peak window from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. is 2.70 cents per kWh all year. Overnight charging in that window costs roughly one-tenth the summer on-peak rate. In winter (November through May) other hours are 8.30 cents per kWh for the first 600 kWh and 4.90 cents per kWh above that. A parallel commercial pilot rate (GS-EV-TOU, Schedule 6.60) was available to qualifying general-service customers with demand under 400 kW and closed to new subscriptions on June 1, 2026; OG&E's tariff text for the residential rate carries no such closure date.
OG&E's rebates page, read in October 2026, lists no EV charger rebate. It lists insulation, window, door, thermostat and HVAC rebates, and states that some Oklahoma rebates and all Arkansas rebates are closed and will return in 2027. With no charger rebate to offset equipment cost, the savings come from the rate: the R-EV-TOU rate rewards overnight charging with the lowest available per-kWh price. There is no confirmed residential, commercial or multifamily EVSE rebate from OG&E.
OG&E is an investor-owned utility regulated by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission for its Oklahoma service territory and by the Arkansas Public Service Commission for its Arkansas service territory. Oklahoma is not a deregulated retail electricity market; customers in OG&E's footprint cannot choose an alternative supplier. OG&E's service territory covers the Oklahoma City metro area and extends across most of the state and into western Arkansas, including rural western Oklahoma where summer peak demand and grid capacity constraints directly shape the SmartHours program design. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission finalized a roughly $127 million rate increase (interim rates effective July 1, 2024, affirmed as final in March 2025), so base rates underlying the TOU differentials may shift again in the next rate case, which would also determine the fate of the commercial pilot tariff.
