Managed EV Charging

SMUD worked with automakers to test how it can help Sacramento-area customers charge their electric vehicles at times of day when energy demand is low. This puts less strain on the electricity grid and allows us to use more renewable energy. The pilot program supported SMUD’s goal to eliminate carbon emissions from the power supply by 2030.

The pilot program closed on Dec 31, 2025 but a new program is in development. Check back for more information.
