Participants will install a small device called a C2 in their vehicle that automatically collects and transmits vehicle information via a cellular connection. Data collected will be shared with participants in a personalized portal and will be used by FleetCarma and Mississippi Power to understand EV charging impacts on the grid.
You are eligible if you own or lease a plug-in electric vehicle – either a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle or battery electric vehicle, and you are a Mississippi Power customer that typically charges your vehicle within Mississippi.
A conventional hybrid operates only on gasoline. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle can be connected to an external electric source to charge its battery. If your vehicle can be plugged in, you may be eligible to join.
The C2 was developed by FleetCarma to give electric vehicle drivers access to a wealth of information about their cars like driving efficiency, battery health, and more. It makes EV data access easy, comparable, and shareable.
The C2 gathers data directly from your vehicle’s internal systems, processes it, and makes it available to you via a mobile-friendly dashboard called SmartCharge Rewards.
For a glossary of terms related to EVs, C2 technology, and charging, please refer to https://www.fleetcarma.com/smartcharge/support/.
Our engineering team is continually adding new vehicle models to our support list, so if your vehicle is not listed you are still eligible to apply!
If you originally applied to the program with a supported vehicle and have since exchanged it for a different model, please check this list before installing your C2 device into your new vehicle.
If your new vehicle is not on this list, please contact smartcharge@fleetcarma.com.
