Wallingford Electric Division (Town of Wallingford, CT)

Wallingford Electric Division is the municipal electric utility owned by the Town of Wallingford, Connecticut, serving about 25,000 customers in New Haven County. As a Connecticut municipal utility it is not rate-regulated by PURA and does not take part in the statewide EV Charging Program that Eversource and United Illuminating run, so its EV-relevant offerings are limited. It publishes conventional residential and general-service rate schedules with no EV-specific or time-of-use rate, and it lists no EV charger rebate. Its residential conservation rebate page (insulation, electric heating and cooling, heat pump water heaters) covers work completed through December 31, 2022 only.

Wallingford Electric Division does not publish an electric-vehicle-specific or time-of-use rate. Residential customers are billed on Rate No. 1, a conventional flat per-kWh charge plus fixed service charges, so the cost to charge an EV overnight is the same per kWh as any other household use at any hour. There is no off-peak window or reduced overnight price to plan charging around. Drivers who want to lower charging costs here are limited to managing total household consumption rather than shifting load to a cheaper time block.

Because there is no EV rate, there is nothing for an EV incentive to stack with on the rate side. The utility's residential energy conservation page lists rebates for attic insulation, electric heating and cooling systems, and heat pump water heaters, but only for work completed through December 31, 2022, and it lists no EV charger rebate. The Connecticut statewide utility EV rebates run by Eversource and United Illuminating do not apply to Wallingford customers.

The key service-territory caveat is jurisdictional. Wallingford is one of Connecticut's municipally owned electric systems, governed by the town rather than by PURA, which is why the Eversource and United Illuminating EV rates and rebates created under the PURA EV Charging Program do not reach Wallingford. State-run programs that do not depend on the electric utility, such as the CHEAPR Rebate+ vehicle rebate for income-qualified buyers, are separate from the utility programs; confirm eligibility with the state before relying on them.
