Participants will install a small device in their vehicle that automatically collects and transmits vehicle information via a cellular connection. Data collected are shared with participants in a personalized portal and will be used by FleetCarma and Snohomish PUD 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 Snohomish PUD customer that typically charges your vehicle within Snohomish PUD territory.
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 SmartCharge Snohomish PUD program.

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/.
The device is very easy to install, simply plugging into your vehicle’s onboard diagnostics (OBD II) port or Tesla diagnostics connector. The OBD II port is typically located below the steering wheel and is the same port mechanics plug into for diagnostic checks.
Instructions can be found at https://www.fleetcarma.com/smartcharge/support/, as well as mailed with your C2.
If you still have questions, please contact smartcharge@fleetcarma.com or call 1-800-975-2434. Our hours of operation are Monday to Friday from 5am- 2pm MST (8am – 5pm EST).
No problem! Send us an email at smartcharge@fleetcarma.com and we can send you a free y-cable so that you can have both devices connected.
The device should remain plugged in for the duration of the study. However, it is fine if your auto shop temporarily removes the device for diagnostic testing. Just be sure it is plugged back in afterward.
