About DTE Energy

DTE Energy is a Detroit-based energy company that develops and manages energy-related businesses and services nationwide. As one of the largest energy providers in Michigan, DTE is committed to delivering reliable and affordable energy while promoting sustainability and innovation. Its initiatives focus on reducing carbon emissions, expanding renewable energy sources, and supporting the transition to electric vehicles.

The Environmental Impact of EVs in Michigan

Electric vehicles (EVs) offer a sustainable solution for reducing emissions and promoting clean energy. In Michigan, the energy used to power EVs is produced locally, supporting the state’s economy. EVs have zero tailpipe emissions, which significantly reduces air pollution. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, an EV driver in Michigan can reduce emissions by up to 70% annually, substantially impacting the environment.

  • Rebate Distribution: Once approved, the rebate will be issued as a check or bill credit, making it easy for customers to benefit from the savings.

DTE’s $500 EV Charger Rebate

DTE Energy is also offering a $500 rebate to help with the cost of installing a Level 2 charger at your home. Here’s how you can take advantage of this offer:

  1. Purchase or Lease an Electric Vehicle: Start by choosing your dream EV from our extensive TrueView™ inventory at Bill Brown Ford.
  2. Enroll in an Eligible Electric Rate: Sign up for an electric rate plan that offers lower rates for overnight and weekend charging, helping you save on your electricity costs.

Details of the EV Charger Rebate:

  • Eligibility: Available to DTE residential electric customers who purchase or lease a new or used electric vehicle and install a qualifying Level 2 charger at their residence.
  • Installation Requirements: The charger must be installed by a licensed electrician, and the customer must provide proof of installation and enrollment in an eligible electric rate.
  • Rebate Application: Customers can apply for the rebate online through the DTE website, providing necessary documentation such as the purchase or lease agreement, installation receipt, and proof of enrollment in the eligible rate plan.

What is a Level 2 EV Charger?

A Level 2 charger offers a quicker and more efficient method to charge your EV at home. Depending on the vehicle model, one hour of Level 2 charging can provide up to 30 miles of range. It connects to a 240-volt outlet, similar to the one used for a clothes dryer. Additionally, it can be hardwired, which requires a charging station with a conduit that needs to be installed by an electrician.

Qualifying Electric Rates

DTE offers multiple pricing plans aimed at providing cost-effective charging solutions for EV owners.

EV Electric Pricing:

This plan includes an additional meter dedicated solely to your EV charger, allowing you to take advantage of reduced rates during off-peak hours (Monday through Friday from 11 p.m. to 9 a.m. and all weekend). This is particularly beneficial if your home’s electrical panel cannot support the additional load required by a Level 2 charger.

Time of Day Rate:

This rate applies to all electricity used at your home, including your EV charger. It features discounted pricing for energy usage on weekdays between 7 p.m. to 11 a.m. and all weekend. It’s ideal if you can manage your energy consumption during these off-peak hours.

Dynamic Peak Pricing:

  • This tiered rate is designed for customers with flexible energy usage patterns. By shifting your home energy usage, including EV charging, to off-peak hours (11 p.m. – 7 a.m. Monday through Friday, all day on weekends and holidays), you can significantly reduce your energy costs.
