What to look for with EV owners

Charging an EV at home can add hundreds of kWh a month. When you charge can matter as much as how much energy the car uses, so compare off-peak prices with what the rest of your home pays.

  1. 01

    Price your charging hours

    With time-of-use pricing, energy costs less during off-peak hours. Schedule charging in that window, then check the peak-hour price the rest of your home pays.

  2. 02

    Look for EV-ready features

    Some plans are built for EV owners, with charging rates or credits tied to when and how you charge. Compare those terms with the plan's regular price.

  3. 03

    Mind your total usage

    Home charging adds a few hundred kWh a month, about 300 for 1,000 miles of driving. For most houses that still lands nearest the 1,000 kWh price; choose a large home if your bills run near 2,000. Plans built for EV charging state how much charging their prices assume.

How prices are shown

Each price is the plan's average price per kWh from its Electricity Facts Label at 500, 1,000, or 2,000 kWh a month, depending on your home. It includes CenterPoint Energy's delivery charges and all recurring fees, before taxes.

The monthly amount is that price times the usage: an estimate, not a quote.

How plans are ranked

Your answers set the order, by the same rules for every plan. No plan is placed by hand.

What kind of home
Sets the usage prices are compared at.
Anything at home
Matches plans to your solar panels, home battery, or EV. Plans that need equipment you don’t have are listed after them or left out.
What matters most
Moves plans with that feature up: a longer price lock, no long contract, a simple fixed rate, or 100% renewable energy. With solar, it asks how exports are credited instead: at the real-time wholesale price, at a fixed rate, or at a high fixed rate of 5¢/kWh or more.
Price
A feature never outweighs price. A plan more than 15% above the lowest price at your usage (25% with solar or a battery) is listed after the others, unless you asked for a high buyback rate: that credit is what the higher price pays for.

Electric vehicle plans: FAQ

What's the best electricity plan for charging an EV at home?

It depends on when you can charge and how much else your home uses. A time-of-use plan can fit if most charging happens off-peak; a plain fixed rate is simpler if your charging times vary. Compare every plan at your actual usage.

How much does an EV add to my electricity use?

It depends on how far you drive and the car's efficiency. Many EVs use roughly 25 to 35 kWh per 100 miles, so 1,000 miles a month adds about 250 to 350 kWh. Add that to what your home uses now and compare plans at the nearest usage level.

How much electricity does a Texas home use?
Why can the same plan show a different price on another site?

The same plan can be listed at different prices on the provider's own site, Power to Choose, and broker sites. Each price covers the first term only, and facts labels don't show renewal prices. Unless a plan's terms say how renewals are priced, the safest assumption is that a renewal would cost at least the highest price listed for that plan on the day you renew, so compare plans at their highest listed price too. To find it, check the plan on the provider's own website as well as on comparison sites.
