This is our first PHEV or anything electric for that matter. Simply, I’m impressed. It moves. The drive is exhilarating.

Agree, that would make me uneasy. My utility provider also has a charger incentive and a rate credit program for off-peak charging. They only needed access to the EVSE.

II.1 Residential Customer Sub-Program
The Residential Customer Sub-Program consists of utility and customer Make-Ready incentives, as well as an on-bill credit for the customer’s net off-peak charging. For eligible participants, the Utility Make-Ready incentive will be based on the actual cost of the Utility Make-Ready Work for each installation, up to $5,500 per qualifying installation site. For purposes of the Residential Customer Sub-Program, an “installation site” is the legal address of the property that is receiving electrical service from JCP&L and as set forth in the Residential Customer Sub-Program application, where the qualifying EVSE is to be installed and all legal properties contiguous with such property that are owned and/or operated by the entity receiving the incentive. All applicants must pay the cost of the Utility Make-Ready Work in advance to ensure that the service upgrade is for the purpose of supporting EV charging and that the customer follows through with charger installation. The incentive will be paid by JCP&L within forty-five (45) calendar days of receipt and validation of all required information, confirmation of charger installation and fulfillment of all customer eligibility requirements.

For customers who install a qualified Level 2 (“L2”) charger as listed in Appendix B, the customer Make- Ready incentive will cover 100% of the cost of the Customer Make-Ready Work, up to $1,500.
A 2 cent per kilowatt-hour net off-peak charging credit will also be offered to participants in the Residential Customer Sub-Program, as well as to residential customers with existing qualified EV chargers. The credit will be paid in the form of an on-bill credit that is applied to the net off-peak kilowatt-hours for EV charging (defined as the off-peak kilowatt-hours used less the on-peak kilowatt-hours used for EV charging). JCP&L’s “on-peak” and “off-peak” hours are set forth in the Company’s BPU-approved Tariff. JCP&L is required to provide the on-bill credits on a quarterly basis and may consider providing these credits on a monthly basis. Credits will terminate when the Sub-Program budget has been exhausted or the Program has terminated – whichever occurs first.

That's got to be frustrating. Especially when nobody can tell you why!! I'm hoping they get things straightened out by the time my 50e comes down the line next week. On the plus side....I really like how it looks. Great color.

You can ask your CA or give Genius a call to get your production week.

Mine is scheduled for Week 33! Read from other posts that most individual color orders are set for Week 31, while mine is 2 weeks further down ..

Thanks for the data point. Those dates are a little fluid at this point but they usually don't move backwards, at least due to Individual batching.

I put an order for 50e with an individual color ca. 10 days ago. I believe at this time the dealer didn't have the allocation yet, so it would go from the next allocation (allocation to be received in June?). Would mine individual color be part of this week 31/33 batching or rather next one? How often BMW batches individual color order?

At this point I would say it will be in the 28 - 33 batch. The times vary obviously but seems to be every 3 or 4 months or so.

still in the middle of the Pacific Ocean... Sounds like it'll arrive to Honolulu, possible memorial weekend, then another week or so to finally take delivery. One of those things living in Hawaii.

Saw the Federal Tax credit but limited to MSRP $80k, my built came out to $80,995 (includes destination charge $995). I'm thinking with loyalty rebate I would qualify? Any insights? Thanks.

Destination and Handling is not included in the MSRP for the limit. It is not what you pay for the vehicle but what the MSRP is so the loyalty rebate does not come into play.

awesome, thanks TurtleBoy. It finally reached the dealership, prob picking up next week.

Is there a general consensus on how long it takes to go from Quality Checking to the next step for a 50e? “The waiting is the hardest part,” said the wise Tom Petty…

A few hours if all goes well.
