Learn How We Can help
PGE Smart Charging Events
Portland General Electric Smart Charging events are the same few hours each weekday when PGE may pause your EV charging during peak demand times. This helps manage the overall energy and load on the grid and contributes to a cleaner energy future.
By allowing PGE to manage your EV charging during Smart Charging events, you earn rewards! To participate, you must meet a few requirements:
- Smart Charging Events: Participate in at least three events per cycle (a typical cycle is two to three months).
- Charging: Charge your EV at least 13 times per cycle.
- Connectivity: Keep your charger connected to the internet at least
50% of the time.
It's important to note that you always have the option to opt out of any specific event if it doesn't work with your schedule.
