It depends on the plan. Of the 7 residential TOU plans we track in New York, 1 apply on-peak periods every day including weekends, while 6 restrict on-peak to weekdays and treat weekends as off-peak. Many tariffs also treat observed holidays as off-peak; the Days column in each schedule above shows the exact rule.

When is the cheapest time to charge an EV in New York?
tou.tools tracks 3 EV-specific rate plans in New York (NY-SC6-EV, SC2-EVC-281, and SC2-EVC-285). On EV time-of-use plans the lowest-cost window is generally the overnight super-off-peak or off-peak period; charging then avoids the on-peak window. See the EV plan schedules for the exact hours.

How do I find which New York utility serves a specific address or ZIP code?
tou.tools maps 2,421 New York ZIP codes to the utilities that serve them. Because service territories can overlap, a ZIP may return more than one candidate utility; supplying a full street address resolves it to a single utility via a geocoded point-in-territory lookup. The REST API and MCP server both return the matching utility and its current TOU period.
