New GMP electric vehicle charging rates help customers save money
GMP Customers Can Also Get Extra Savings on Chevy Bolts with New Discounts at Alderman’s Chevrolet in Rutland
Vermont Business Magazine Driving electric now costs less and is more convenient with Green Mountain Power’s (GMP) two new discounted charging rates. The new off-peak EV rates approved by regulators are more than 20 percent less than traditional residential power rates, making charging up an EV, on average, equivalent to paying about $1 per gallon of gas. The rates are designed to help reduce costs for all GMP customers.
Transportation is the number one cause of carbon emissions in Vermont, so by partnering with customers there can be even more progress.
Fred C., a GMP customer who switched to driving an EV last year, just signed up for one of GMP’s discounted charging rates. “All electric drivers should sign up! I love my EV and the new GMP charging rate will helping me save even more,” he said. “I love not having to stop for gas and it just makes sense that charging at home is convenient and cost-effective.”
And now there are even more reasons to go electric, as GMP also announced new discounts for GMP customers who can save more than $2,500 off the purchase price when they buy or lease all electric Chevy Bolts at Alderman’s Chevrolet in Rutland. The savings can be combined with up to $2,500 in EV rebates from GMP and customers can also save even more with offers including a rebate up to $8,500 from General Motors and EV rebates from the state of Vermont. All of these savings could add up to $20,000 off a new Chevy Bolt.
“We brought in extra Bolts because we know this new package of discounts, rebates and now great EV charging rates will mean a lot of interest from customers. Our experience is that when customers switch to EVs they just love them,” said Mark Alderman of Alderman’s Chevrolet in Rutland. “GMP customers will get the same discounts on Bolts that General Motors employees can get, making now a great time to go electric.”
GMP already offers many ways to make it easier for customers to switch to EV driving, by reducing costs and increasing convenience. The new rates join rebates offers up to $2,500
when customers buy or lease their vehicle, plus GMP will give new EV owners a free Level 2 home charger, which can charge your EV in just a few hours. You can learn more about GMP’s EV offers here: https://greenmountainpower.com/rebates-programs/electric-vehicles/.

Creating affordability by leveraging innovation to help customers is at the heart of what this team does,” said Mari McClure, GMP’s president and CEO. “Partnering with local businesses like Alderman’s in Rutland shows that working together we can achieve results for customers.”
