Electric Vehicles

Plug In!

Electric Vehicles

In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs) have become an option to consider when buying a new car. EVs offer
many advantages, including reduced or no gasoline use (depending on the type of EV), reduced or no tailpipe emissions and less maintenance. As more car makers introduce EVs, newer models also offer longer travel
distance between charges, smooth operation and strong acceleration, making them fun to drive. Lower battery prices also are making them more affordable.

eV Charging

Fueling an EV requires you to “plug-in.” MGE has been working to provide charging options to EV owners at home, at work and throughout the Madison-area.

Charge@Home - MGE's home charging program, Charge@Home, makes it quick and easy to charge your car's battery with a Level 2 (L2) charger. L2 chargers can charge up to six times faster than a standard 120-volt electrical outlet and offer more flexibility to charge when you want. This program offers a monthly fee of about $20 plus the cost of electricity, without having to pay upfront installation fees for the charger.

Public Charging Network - MGE continues to add public chargers to our local network. Powered by 100% renewable energy, including wind farms in Wisconsin and Iowa, MGE’s chargers, combined with additional stations throughout the Madison-area, bring the number of local stations to 45.

Workplace Charging - Workplace charging offers many benefits, including employee attraction and retention and demonstrated support for sustainable initiatives. MGE can help businesses navigate through the evaluation, implementation and maintenance stages of a successful workplace charging program.
