The Potomac Edison Company

Potomac Edison's EV charger time-of-use rider is the main tool for EV owners who want to cut charging costs, and it applies only to Maryland customers. It is an EV-only rider rather than a whole-home EV rate: drivers who charge a smart, connected Level 2 charger overnight save 2 cents per kWh off the Electric Supply Charge during off-peak hours, which run 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. on weekdays plus all weekends and holidays. Charging during on-peak hours adds 2 cents per kWh instead. A separate voluntary Smart Charging program pays enrolled drivers a $10 monthly incentive for letting Potomac Edison schedule their charging automatically during off-peak hours; enrollment is capped at 1,000 participants.

Charger rebates ran through the same EV Driven pilot, but the residential rebate has reached its maximum capacity and is not accepting applications, and the program's multifamily rebate page is offline. Multifamily property owners should contact support@evdrivenpe.com or 301-804-9321 to ask whether any rebate remains. Eligible multifamily properties can also use charging stations that Potomac Edison installs, owns, and maintains at no equipment cost to the owner.

Potomac Edison serves western Maryland and the West Virginia Eastern Panhandle, but its EV Driven programs are tied to the Maryland Public Service Commission and run only in Maryland. For West Virginia customers, FirstEnergy's EV page points to a third-party EV information site rather than a utility EV rate or rebate. Maryland is a deregulated supply state, so the rider discount applies to the utility-default Electric Supply Charge; the program FAQ excludes accounts enrolled with an alternative electric supplier.
