Would you charge your electric vehicle at off-peak hours to earn utility incentives?
WeaveGrid has launched EVConnectNC, a managed charging program for North Carolina's Electric Cooperatives. The program is already operating at Roanoke Electric Cooperative and South River EMC.
Why it matters
The program is designed to help cooperatives monitor charging patterns and shift electricity use to lower-cost periods as electric vehicle demand grows. It also reflects an effort to align consumption with available grid capacity.
The program offers up to $120 per year to enrolled members who charge at least 90% of the time during off-peak hours and use a minimum of 200 kilowatt-hours per month. North Carolina's Electric Cooperatives supports 26 community-based cooperatives, though the source does not report how many have enrolled.
The players
WeaveGrid
WeaveGrid is a grid orchestration software provider for electric utilities that offers its DISCO platform for asset-level visibility and device-level control of EVs, batteries and flexible loads.
North Carolina's Electric Cooperatives
North Carolina's Electric Cooperatives is an organization that supports the state's 26 community-based electric cooperatives and their member utilities in operating the program.
The details
EVConnectNC allows members of participating cooperatives to earn incentives by charging electric vehicles during off-peak hours. WeaveGrid's software uses connected vehicle and charger data to monitor charging patterns, and the program works with certain EV models from Dodge, Jeep, Lexus, Tesla and Toyota, as well as home chargers from ChargePoint, Emporia and Wallbox.

Roadmap
WeaveGrid's DISCO platform, which provides device-level control of EVs, batteries and flexible loads, is now being applied to managed charging across North Carolina's cooperative network. The deployment extends that platform from vendor-level grid orchestration into a statewide cooperative incentive program already running at two utilities.
Electric vehicle owners who are members of participating North Carolina cooperatives can earn up to $120 a year by charging during off-peak hours. Qualifying requires charging at least 90% of the time off-peak and using at least 200 kilowatt-hours per month.
The takeaway
Electric vehicle owners in participating cooperative territories may be able to lower charging costs by shifting when they charge. Checking whether a local cooperative participates is a practical first step.
