PPL Electric Utilities Corp

PPL Electric Utilities is an investor-owned distribution utility serving roughly 1.49 million customers across eastern and central Pennsylvania, a deregulated state where PPL delivers power and customers may choose a competitive generation supplier. PPL offers a voluntary residential Time-of-Use plan on its default service supply, with peak hours weekday afternoons, but no separate EV-specific TOU rate. Its residential EV Charging Pilot rebate ran in 2025 and closed to new applicants at the end of that year, so EV owners should confirm whether a successor program is active before relying on it.

Voluntary residential Time-of-Use plan applied to PPL default service supply. Not EV-specific; any residential default-service customer can enroll to pay less for electricity used off-peak, including overnight EV charging. There is no single year-round peak or off-peak price: the TOU supply prices reset with PPL's default-service Price to Compare, most recently on June 1, 2026, so check PPL's Time-of-Use page for the current prices.

PPL does not publish a dedicated EV rate. Instead it offers a voluntary residential Time-of-Use plan, Rate Schedule RTS, that applies to the default service supply portion of the bill. Peak hours run Monday through Friday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and exclude federal holidays; every other hour, including nights and full weekends, is off-peak. EV owners who charge overnight pay the lower off-peak supply price. The exact cents per kilowatt-hour reset with PPL's default-service Price to Compare, most recently on June 1, 2026, so the spread between peak and off-peak shifts over time; check PPL's Time-of-Use page for the current prices.

PPL's residential EV Charging Pilot offered a rebate for an ENERGY STAR Level 2 charger or a qualifying Tesla, but that pilot ran only in 2025 and closed to new applicants, with final enrollment due by the end of that year. Because no separate EV-specific rate exists, there is no rebate that stacks with or excludes a special rate; the Time-of-Use plan stands on its own. Whether a 2026 successor rebate or a confirmed business and multifamily charging program exists could not be verified here and should be checked before relying on either.

Pennsylvania is a restructured, deregulated market, which changes how these programs work in practice. PPL handles delivery and default service, while generation can come from a competitive supplier the customer chooses. Time-of-Use pricing applies to PPL's default service supply, so a customer who has switched to a third-party supplier is billed under that supplier's contract terms, not PPL's TOU windows. The state PUC has an open EV rate-design proceeding that may shape future PPL offerings.
