First register with WeaveGrid and fill out an application on the PGE website

Once your EV is connected in the registration process and you've been enrolled, your charging will be optimally scheduled each time you plug in at home.

WeaveGrid identifies the lowest-cost periods you can charge in order to meet your upcoming driving needs (while considering overall grid conditions) and automatically schedules your EV to charge during those periods.

You'll receive notifications about your upcoming schedule through your preferred method (web and/or SMS texts) and can skip your proposed charge schedule if needed.

Yes! It is risk-free and you can un-enroll at any time.

There are two Smart Charging Event seasons in the year: October to March and April to September. During these seasons, your charging will automatically shift outside of peak times, during times when energy use is high and sustainable energy sources are scarce.

During Smart Charging Events, your vehicle charging will pause and will start again once the event is over. You can opt out of any event via text message or directly from your WeaveGrid dashboard.

To earn rewards each season, the following participation criteria should be met:

• Charge your EV at least 13 times

• Participate in at least 3 events

If you are on Time of Day pricing or Time of Use, your charge will be optimized outside of demand response events as well. This will help ensure your electricity bill is as low as possible.

Currently, the Smart Charging Program only accepts Tesla vehicles for participation

You can use any home charging equipment to participate, including a Level 1 (120v) charger, but we recommend a Level 2 (240v) charger for faster, more efficient charging.

If you're using a smart charger, we recommend not setting a charging schedule through the charger but rather through our WeaveGrid platform to ensure we can optimize your charging during peak demand events.

We are continually adding more EVs and chargers- join the waitlist if you want to be notified when we add yours!

Portland General Electric wants to make EV charging simple and low-cost for customers.

Your participation helps Portland General Electric measure the impact of electric vehicle charging on the grid and make adjustments to ensure grid stability.

As an EV driver, you can earn rewards and track your spending on EV charging.

Each time you plug in your car, WeaveGrid will generate a smart schedule that charges your car by your ready-by time.

The schedule takes into account a variety of live signals from Portland General Electric such as energy cost, grid stress, and renewable energy.

While it's best to stick to the schedule as much as possible, you can opt out and charge immediately at any time.

WeaveGrid balances EV charging for you and your neighbors in coordination with other electricity use to reduce strain on the grid, reducing environmental impact of charging and keeping electricity reliable and affordable for everyone.

When signing up, you will be prompted to sign into your electric vehicle (EV) or home charging station account to establish a connection and enable WeaveGrid to receive data on when, how much, and where EV charging occurs.

While this data is shared with Portland General Electric in order to provide program benefits, we do not share your EV or personal data with third parties.

WeaveGrid is committed to securing users’ data. We maintain stringent data security procedures to prevent details about our users and their charging and driving patterns from being misused or disclosed to unauthorized parties.

The WeaveGrid platform uses SSL/TLS encryption to secure communications with various external data sources, such as utilities and vehicles. WeaveGrid also uses AES-256 encryption for securing personal information (PI), personally identifiable information (PII), and data at rest, hosted in our own virtual private cloud (VPC). Additionally, our information security management program is aligned with industry best practices and highly regarded IT governance frameworks such as ISO:27001, SOC2, and NIST CSF. This means we uphold the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of customer data in the utmost regard.

Your vehicle or charger tells WeaveGrid when your EV is charging after you have established a connection to your vehicle or home charging station.
