Consumers Energy continues to push to lead Michigan's electric vehicle transformation and want reward some EV owners.

JACKSON, Mich - Consumers Energy is expanding their home charging options for electric vehicle drivers with a new program.

The Bring Your Own Charger program rewards electric vehicle owners financially for charging their vehicles overnight at home. And as automakers are rolling out dozens of new EV models, all Consumers Energy residential electric customers with EVs will be eligible, no matter whether owners buy their own charger or receive it with the vehicle.

Unlike gasoline-powered vehicles, most EVs are fully charged at home and can power most drivers' daily travels without stopping to fill up.

Consumers Energy is celebrating National Drive Electric Week (Sept. 25-Oct.3) in other ways.  The energy provider is working with community leaders to announce new public EV chargers in the Lansing area and the Sunrise side communities of Rogers City and Harrisville, an example of how far and wide Michigan's EV charging network has expanded.

Consumer Energy will continue to power the growing demand for EVs, with plans for 200 fast-charging locations - and over 2,000 chargers at homes and businesses - across Michigan over the next three years.
