3. Charger Installation and Maintenance
3.1. Customer will receive the manufacturer’s limited three-year warranty on the hardware of

4. Incentives: The monthly incentive to be provided to Customer under the SCM Program is
determined based on the Customer electric rate schedule after the Level 2 chargers have

monthly rebate incentive is $25 per level 2 charger.

rebate incentive is $500 per level 2 charger.
4.3. The incentive will be applied quarterly to the account holder at the facility address
where the Level 2 chargers are located.
5. Opt-outs: The Charging Schedule is determined by adding up the total load of all Level 2
chargers at Customer’s property and calculating Customer’s maximum load limit when
Customer’s EVs are charged. Customer will also have periods of reduced load when the
Level 2 chargers may operate at a lower kW capacity to help support electric grid
operations.
5.1. If Customer logs into its SRS account and opts-out of its daily Charging Schedule for a
Level 2 charger, this will be considered an opt-out. PEPCO will notify Customer via
email when it has reached three opt-outs in one month for a particular Level 2 charger.

related to that Level 2 charger for that month and will receive a notification email to that
effect from PEPCO.

reason without liability or penalty. PEPCO will send an email notification to Customer
within two business days of removal from the SCM Program.

Program and this SCM Agreement, if ordered to do so by the Maryland Public Service
Commission. Customer will receive notice of any such Program modification.

be considered acceptance of such modification.
