@Paul, actually anyone who is piggy with electrons (say 700 kwh a month) in California averages 20 – 22 cents a kwh.

Unless you have a solar roof and/or are billed on TOU – time of use- pricing, but mostly only businesses take advantage of TOU.

It would be something that anyone considering an EV charged at home should ask their utility about switching to TOU billing.

it is about time that we banned any story about a future car release. i am sick of hearing about the me to car companies and how green their latest concept cars are. I only want to hear about what people are actually selling. anything else is just hot air.

Try the running cost maths again!

$0.20 kWh for off peak power at a California McMansion? So that makes it $0.40 kWh Peak…. doubt it!
