Launched in 2017, the HELPS Electric Vehicle Program is a way to reward participating MLPs’ customers who have made the environmentally conscious decision to purchase an electric vehicle.
The program is a collaboration between HELPS, participating MLPs, and local dealerships. Customers who live in a participating MLP territory may be eligible for a dealer discount with the purchase of a Chevrolet Bolt.
Additionally, select MLPs offer a free or discounted charger incentive for customers enrolled in the Scheduled Charging Program. This helps the MLP territory by minimizing the vehicle’s impact on the electric grid, therefore reducing costs for all customers in that area.

Customers who agree to participate in the Scheduled Charging Program allow their vehicle charging to be reduced during peak hours from 5:00-9:00 p.m. on non-holiday weekdays. This period of time coincides with peak energy and fossil fuel usage for the MLP territory and New England as a whole.
