A dynamic pricing-based pilot program with MCE and SVCE demonstrates enhanced grid flexibility and estimated customer savings of $200/year on average versus Time-of-Use Rates alone. PALO ALTO, CA – June 02, 2025 – New results from a smart EV charging pilot program, funded by the California Energy. New results from a smart EV charging pilot program, funded by a California Energy Commission initiative and implemented in partnership with MCE and Silicon Valley Clean Energy, highlight the significant potential of dynamic price signals in optimizing electric vehicle charging. MCE and Silicon. The ChargeWise California pilot shows a major win for dynamic pricing in EV charging, dramatically improving load optimization over standard time-of-use methods. Dynamic pricing-based pilot with MCE and SVCE demonstrates enhanced flexibility and estimated $200/year average customer savings versus. Design time-varying electricity prices that balance revenue maximization, demand shaping, renewable integration, and grid stability while encouraging efficient customer consumption patterns. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has ordered the state's three major electric.
