Info on Progress Energy's Plugged In:
Plugged In is a new program for Progress Energy's North Carolina and South Carolina customers, designed to help our area move forward with tomorrow’s plug-in vehicles today.

If you qualify, Progress Energy will install a 240-volt, Level 2 charging station at your home. The program runs until April 2013, during which time the company will monitor the data from the station, plus be responsible for any maintenance and servicing. After that time, the station becomes yours to keep.

Info on Duke Energy's Charge Carolinas:
Eligible residential customers in North Carolina and South Carolina now have the opportunity to participate in Duke Energy’s Charge Carolinas pilot program. Charge Carolinas provides qualified participants with a 240-volt, Level 2 charging station, installation and service for the duration of the two-year pilot.

How the pilot works:

1. Duke Energy will install a 240-volt, Level 2 charging station at the homes of eligible customers.*  
2. We will also service the charging station for free for the duration of the pilot program.
3. We’ll remotely access information to better understand collective charging habits and the impact on the power grid. This way we can better prepare for increased use in the future.
4. When the pilot ends, participants will be able to keep the charging station for only $250.

 Electric transportation has many advantages over traditional gasoline vehicles:

1. Fueling at the plug instead of the pump is cheaper for consumers.
2. The use of plug-in vehicles will reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
3. Grid enabled electric transportation can significantly decrease our reliance on foreign oil.

How do Plug In Cars Work?
Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) have two power systems, an internal combustion engine and a battery which can be re-charged from electricity. These vehicles use both gas and electricity. Some are designed to operate in all-electric mode until the battery is fully discharged, with the gasoline engine then taking over. The Chevrolet Volt is an example of this type of vehicle. Others will operate with both power systems at the same time to reduce gasoline usage, much like the planned Toyota Prius PHEV.
