Just curious on how you all are planning to charge your lightning and does it really save money. I'm from California and just installed solar. When we put on the solar we over built our system to plan for an EV. So far we are way over producing and what we make on solar will completely cover our charging bill. PG&E is our electric provider and they just increased their rate by about 12% I believe. Depending on what rate plan you have the rates are roughly $0.31 per kWh, they also have special EV rate plan to drop off-peak charging times to $0.24 per kWh, but your peak demand times jump up to $0.56 per kWh.
Taking that the SR battery has 98 kWh battery with 230 miles range, we would get 2.35 miles/kWh. My daily commute is 70 miles, and taking PG&E rate of $0.31 per kWh it would cost me $9.23 per commute. My commuter Honda Civic gets 25 MPG and with current gas at $5.25, my commute price is $14.7.
Enough with the rambling, just curious how you all plan on charging or currently charge your other EV's.
For me its obviously Home with Solar and my work does offer free EV charging, so it will be a combo of both.
