MCE’s new EV smart-charging app, MCE Sync, is now available to Bay Area drivers, helping save the average driver up to $1,000 per year vs. gasoline. The MCE Sync app provides a hassle-free way for EV drivers to charge off-peak which also aligns EV charging with low-carbon electricity and supports grid reliability.
