Electric Vehicles — York Electric Cooperative, Inc.

York Electric Cooperative, Inc. (YEC) is proud to offer a special electric vehicle rate for our members using this new technology.

Below, please find brief instructions and guidelines to install the required Level 2 EV charger:

YEC will install a time-of-day meter at your home.
A breaker, with at least a 40 Amp capacity, should be installed with the sole purpose of serving the submeter and EV charger.
We recommend using a 100 Amp meter base for the submeter, noting a ground rode is not required for this installation.
The wire used to connect the breaker and submeter must include 4 wires: two hot legs, a neutral, and a ground. The wire must be at least 8 gauge in size and connect to the top lugs or connectors of the meter base.
The EV charging wire must connect to the bottom lugs or connectors of the meter base.
For convenience and maintenance, we recommend having all required sections of the new installation beside one another.
The installation of an EV charger and submeter should only be performed by qualified individuals. YEC highly recommends hiring a certified electrician to install this equipment.
The latest National Electric Code (NEC) guidelines apply for all steps of the installation.
