I would assume that this has to include a lot of Level 3 charging, right? I can't see how your electric bill would go up $100 with the EV.. What is your electric rate per kwh?
24 cents per kwh is insane.. WOW... I pay 4.7 cents for off peak electricity (16 hours of the day) while on peak electric is just over 17 cents per kwh (8 hours per day)Nope. I don't do much L3 charging at all. Most of my charging is L2 @ home. I drive 2,500 miles/month and here in MA, National Grid hits me for 24 cents/kWh with no off-peak rates offered. I'm not complaining though, because I was spending almost $300/month on gas for my previous car (a Mazda 3).
4.7/kWh, wow? What is the source of your electricity in FL, nuclear, coal, NG, or what? How can it be so cheap, even on off hours?24 cents per kwh is insane.. WOW... I pay 4.7 cents for off peak electricity (16 hours of the day) while on peak electric is just over 17 cents per kwh (8 hours per day)
It's mostly coal.. Here are our 2 main power plants..4.7/kWh, wow? What is the source of your electricity in FL, nuclear, coal, NG, or what? How can it be so cheap, even on off hours?

Yeah, you guys in Quebec have it very good with your surplus of hydro power. Probably make money with exporting to NY, so that helps your rates.I get the same 4.7 from hydro Quebec off peak hours and I think it's 7 cents during peak. I think it is because I am on a dual energy plan where it's heat pump above -minus 15 Celsius and on oil if colder.
Problem in these parts is when it gets sunny (rare occurrence in winter) it gets colder, offsetting the benefit of solar production in range loss and slower charging. I would much rather have the rain and warmer conditions c/w a slight range reduction.Solar for the win!I really only charge once a week, as I don't drive too far too often, and most weeks use only about 50% of my battery but charge anyway. I only charge once a week, so it's one high kWh day every weekend.
