I’m on Cape Cod, I’m paying 34.1 cents per kWh for standard residential service. There is no tiered service available here for reduced rates overnight. I was paying much less in AZ when I left a couple years ago. What is everyone else paying at home?
Based on the seemingly high price of electricity, it doesn’t appear that I’m really saving much money vs my 1500 ecodiesel pickup. I’ve driven 1020.8 miles at 2.3 kWh average according to the truck, so with my home energy rate of $.341 443.8 kWh works out to $151.34. My 1500 diesel averages about 27 mpg, so at $4.89 per gallon of diesel that works out to 835.62 miles for the same cost. There was an article today about National Grid asking state regulators to increase rates by 64% starting in November 2022. If my electric rates go up to 55.9 cents per kWh the diesel truck will win out until diesel prices are $6.56 per gallon. With OPEC cutting production by 2 million barrels per day we might get there.
