Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco)

Pepco serves approximately 949,727 customers across Washington DC and suburban Maryland (Montgomery and Prince George's counties) as an investor-owned utility and Exelon subsidiary. In Maryland, Pepco offers a whole-house time-of-use rate (Schedule R-TOU-P, formerly R-TM, seasonal peak windows) and a plug-in vehicle-specific TOU rate (Schedule R-PIV, flat noon-8pm weekday peak). The EVsmart program previously offered residential charger rebates, multifamily rebates, and workplace rebates in Maryland; current status could not be reconfirmed in the 2026-09-01 sweep because pepco.com renders empty to automated fetchers, so treat the last-known terms below as historical, not confirmed current. The Smart Charge Management program for Tesla also closed enrollment in mid-2024.

EV time-of-use rate plans

Schedule R-TOU-P (Maryland Whole-House TOU, formerly R-TM)

Verified Jun 2026

Peak
Seasonal, not the flat noon-8pm window this plan previously listed (which duplicated the separate R-PIV entry below): winter (Oct-May) 6am-9am and 5pm-9pm weekdays; summer (Jun-Sep) 2pm-7pm weekdays. All weekends and holidays off-peak. This is a fallback-tier correction (search-indexed tariff-sheet title and a rate aggregator, not a direct pepco.com fetch, since pepco.com renders empty to automated fetchers); confirm against the filed PSC tariff before quoting to a client.
Varies
Off-peak
All hours outside the seasonal peak windows above, plus all weekends and holidays
Varies

Available to Maryland residential customers on Standard Offer Service. Applies TOU pricing to the entire home's electricity use, including EV charging. Customers must have a smart meter and enroll voluntarily.

Schedule R-PIV (Maryland Plug-In Vehicle TOU)

Verified Jun 2026

Peak
Noon to 8pm Monday-Friday, excluding holidays
Varies
Off-peak
8pm to noon weekdays, all day weekends and holidays
Varies

Available to Maryland residential SOS customers who own or lease a plug-in vehicle. Vehicle must be registered in Maryland. Rate applies to the entire home, not a dedicated EV meter. Enrollment is voluntary.

Schedule R-PIV (DC Plug-In Vehicle TOU)

Verified Jun 2026

Peak
Noon to 8pm Monday-Friday, excluding holidays
Varies
Off-peak
8pm to noon weekdays, all day weekends and holidays

Residential EVSE rebates

EVsmart Residential Charger Rebate (Maryland)

$300 (current open/closed status could not be confirmed as of 2026-09-01)

Maryland residential Pepco customers installing an approved Level 2 smart charger at a single-family home. Charger must be on Pepco's approved list. Status is genuinely unclear as of the 2026-09-01 sweep: pepco.com itself rendered empty to automated fetchers, one third-party aggregator describes the program as active for 2026, and another describes it as closed to new applications since early 2025. Confirm directly with Pepco (202-833-7500) before relying on this program.

Commercial & multifamily rebates

EVsmart Multifamily Property Rebate (Maryland)

Last-known figure $15,000 per Level 2 station (max 2 stations per property); current amount and status unconfirmed as of 2026-09-01

Active Pepco Maryland customers who own or operate multifamily residential properties. Rebate previously covered 100% of equipment and installation cost up to the per-station cap. The file's AFDC citation (laws/12239) no longer describes this program specifically, now returning only a generic Pepco incentives summary, and pepco.com's own multifamily page rendered empty to automated fetchers as of 2026-09-01. Confirm directly with Pepco before relying on this figure.

EVsmart Workplace Charger Rebate (Maryland)

Last-known figure up to $5,000 per Level 2 port, maximum $30,000 per property; current amount and status unconfirmed as of 2026-09-01

Maryland-based small businesses and nonprofit organizations that are active Pepco customers. The file's AFDC citation (laws/13143) no longer describes this program specifically, now returning only a generic Pepco incentives summary, and pepco.com's own workplace page rendered empty to automated fetchers as of 2026-09-01. Confirm directly with Pepco before relying on this figure.

Pepco offers Maryland residential EV owners two time-of-use options: the whole-house Schedule R-TOU-P (formerly R-TM), which applies TOU pricing to all household consumption on a seasonal peak window (winter 6-9am and 5-9pm weekdays, summer 2-7pm weekdays), and the plug-in vehicle-specific Schedule R-PIV, which covers the entire home's usage but was designed with EV owners in mind and keeps a flat noon-8pm weekday peak year round. Off-peak hours cover all other times, including overnight charging and all weekend hours. DC residential customers can opt into the comparable R-PIV schedule. Current per-kWh rates are published in the Maryland tariff schedules and the DC rate sheet linked in the sources below; pepco.com itself renders empty to automated fetchers, so the R-TOU-P seasonal windows above are a fallback-tier correction, not a direct tariff read.

Pepco's EVsmart rebate programs in Maryland have historically included a residential Level 2 charger rebate, a multifamily property rebate of up to $15,000 per station, and a workplace rebate of up to $5,000 per port. Current status and amounts could not be confirmed in the 2026-09-01 sweep: pepco.com rendered empty to automated fetchers, the AFDC pages this file previously cited no longer describe the multifamily or workplace programs specifically, and third-party sources disagree on whether the residential rebate is still active. Confirm directly with Pepco before relying on any of these figures. The Smart Charge Management program, which offered a monthly incentive for Tesla owners who charged during off-peak hours, also closed new enrollment in mid-2024. There is no requirement to enroll in a rebate program to access the R-TOU-P or R-PIV rate; the time-of-use rate is a separate, voluntary enrollment.

Pepco is an investor-owned electric distribution utility regulated by the Maryland Public Service Commission for its Maryland service territory and by the DC Public Service Commission for the District. The DC rate environment is subject to ongoing DCPSC proceedings; customers in the District should check current DCPSC dockets before projecting long-term rate savings from TOU enrollment.
