Duke Energy (NYSE:DUK) said Monday it is working with General Motors (GM), Ford (F) and BMW (OTCPK:BMWYY) to launch a flat-fee residential charging subscription pilot program for owners of electric vehicles in North Carolina.
Duke (DUK) said the 12-month pilot will allow residential customers in the state to use up to 800 kWh/month to charge an EV at home for a fixed monthly fee of $19.99 in its Duke Energy Carolinas service area and $24.99 in its Duke Energy Progress service area.
The company said the average EV driver uses less than 15 kWh/day, meaning the plan will offer nearly twice the monthly amount needed by the average driver.
Customers who own or lease a qualifying EV will receive an invitation to participate from their respective EV manufacturer and can enroll in the program starting in September, the company said.
