MMLD EV Charger Program
Marblehead Municipal Electric Department's partner and energy efficiency program manager, Next Zero, provides a Free or Discounted WiFi-equipped Level 2 Residential Electric Vehicle Charger to customers signing on to our Next Zero Scheduled Charging Program.
What Is "Scheduled Charging"?
Scheduled Charging is a set schedule that determines when an EV Charger may be used at full power. MMLD will power off EV Chargers during periods of peak energy usage for the rest of our distribution system through the WiFi connection enabled in your charger.
How Scheduled Charging Works
Your EV Charger will be automatically unlocked to allow full Level 2 fast-charging functionality, except between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. on non-holiday weekdays.
Emergency Scheduling
Sometimes major events happen on the electrical system outside of MMLD's control. To respond to these events, Emergency Scheduling allows MMLD to temporarily access your charger via Wi-Fi connection to lower your charging rate until the event passes. This limits strain to our system and allows us to continue to deliver low-cost, reliable electricity.
Charger Incentives
Marblehead Light customers are eligible for a free charger for Electric Vehicles (EVs) and a $200 or $300 rebate for Plug-in Hybrids (PHEVs) in exchange for enrolling your charger into the Scheduled Charging Program.
