LADWP's R-1B residential time-of-use rate uses different schedules for summer (June through September) and winter (October through May). Summer has a 1pm to 5pm High Peak window with a Low Peak shoulder from 10am to 1pm and 5pm to 8pm; winter has only Low Peak weekdays 10am to 8pm with no High Peak. Weekday hours 8pm to 10am and all day on weekends are Base Period. EV drivers who install a separately metered Level 2 charger receive an additional $0.025 per kWh discount on Base Period energy used for EV charging.

The Charge Up LA residential rebate pays up to $1,000 per Level 2 charger plus a $250 credit for a dedicated EV time-of-use meter, with an additional $500 for income-qualified customers enrolled in the Senior Citizen/Disability Lifeline or EZ-SAVE programs. Customers who claim the dedicated-meter credit also gain ongoing access to the $0.025 per kWh off-peak charging discount on the R-1B rate. The commercial rebate covers up to $5,000 per Level 2 charger and up to $125,000 per DCFC station in disadvantaged communities, but runs in periodic enrollment windows rather than continuous open enrollment; check the LADWP commercial program page before relying on it for project funding.

LADWP is the largest U.S. municipal electric utility, serving the City of Los Angeles entirely separately from neighboring SCE territory. As a municipal utility, LADWP does not run a standalone residential managed-charging program at this time, so customers looking for demand-response payments need to look to SCE-only programs that do not extend into Los Angeles city limits. Customers in adjacent Burbank or Glendale are served by their own municipal utilities, not LADWP; confirm the service address before assuming Charge Up LA eligibility.
