Puget Sound Energy

Puget Sound Energy (PSE) serves about 1.24 million electric customers across western Washington as an investor-owned utility regulated by the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission. PSE offers two optional residential time-of-use rate plans, a residential Level 2 charger rebate under its Up & Go Electric brand, make-ready incentives for multifamily and workplace sites, and the Flex EV managed-charging program. There is no flat EV-only rate; EV owners use the general residential TOU schedules.

Managed-charging programs

Flex EV

PSE adjusts enrolled EV charging on days when energy demand is forecasted to peak, through the vehicle's telematics or a connected Level 2 charger. Flex events run only between 7am and 10pm, typically last 2 to 4 hours, and never occur on holidays; customers can opt out of any event.

$50 upfront enrollment reward plus 50 cents per kWh saved during Flex events, paid monthly

PSE does not publish a dedicated EV-only rate. Instead, EV owners can opt into one of two voluntary residential time-of-use plans. Schedule 307 charges more on weekdays from 7am to 10am and 5pm to 8pm, and less at all other times including weekends and holidays, so overnight charging falls in the cheaper off-peak window. Schedule 327 adds a year-round super off-peak price from 11pm to 7am daily, which rewards drivers who can schedule charging overnight. Both plans are optional and customers can leave at any time without penalty.

The residential Level 2 charger rebate stacks with whichever TOU plan a customer chooses; enrolling in one does not require the other. Buying a qualifying charger through the PSE Marketplace also pre-enrolls the customer in Flex EV, the managed-charging program that pays for shifting charging during forecasted peak events. PSE runs a separate track for multifamily and workplace sites under Up & Go Electric, which covers make-ready and charger installation costs rather than issuing a flat residential rebate, with enhanced support for highly impacted communities.

PSE is an investor-owned utility, so its rates and programs are set through rate cases before the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission. Exact per-kWh TOU prices change when those cases close, so customers should confirm the current numbers on PSE's tariff sheets before enrolling. Washington's clean-energy mandate shapes PSE's EV investment, but this page leaves the per-kWh figures for direct verification because a rate change was pending in late 2025.
