Not everyone gets Stupidly cheap overnight plans, let alone cheaper ones. I guess you get all the breaks, enjoy!My bill has averaged about 5% lower comparing to same-month-last year in the 15 months we've had the Tesla.
Largely due to qualifying for an EV time of use plan where power is significantly cheaper 19 out of every 24 hours (and stupidly cheap during the overnight hours the car is charging- I'm paying roughly $2 per 300 miles of range... I guess maybe $2.50 if I was figuring charging loss but it's literally not worth my time to do that math)

Or he can be on an ev plan and not have tier 2 chargesIf your per KWh is over 27 cents and you own the house, it may make sense to get solar + powerwall! Solar will take you to a lower tier, powerwall will let you avoid peak rates.
Sooner or later every utility will offer or downright require time of use plans. Are you with FPL? I thought they already had those options?

I just move to EVTOU2 billings starting Jan 1/2020 with SDG&E here in San Diego and I have solar array too....Im quiet curious to see my next bill...I usually charge my M3 from midnight to 6 at least 3X a week.My bill has averaged about 5% lower comparing to same-month-last year in the 15 months we've had the Tesla.

So last night parked at 28F with 168 miles
7miles to work 15minute preheat at 65F to make sure there is no frost. Drivers seat heater on
few miles for lunch
to Costco and home 20miles total driven 30-33F car has 116miles remaining 30mile average is 516wh/m.
So 52miles gone for 20 driven, now add 10% just for charging losses. Once you budget something for pack warming to charge you are at triple rated wh/m in real power use and this is right around freezing, not actually cold.
Wife's car is an Impala which is VERY similarly sized and with more miles needed fewer repairs offsetting the oil change costs and gets 25mpg. Think gas is $2.30ish a gallon here now or 9.2cents per mile.
Not a math major but I believe at $.14kwh trying to solve for an equal 9.2cents per mile would be about 660wh/m which while my dash doesn't show it the miles consumption is well over before charging losses and pack warming. My car is on older software pack heater is not coming on except to charge.
Not even cold, imagine what these numbers look like once it is subzero instead of 30F?
Now we can make the numbers different if we ignore real consumption just using dash display, compare it to a 40mpg compact car and use Cali gas prices.
Great if you live in Cali, but contrary to popular belief, not all of us do.My electric bill only went up about 20$ and I drive almost 2000 miles a month. The trick is to basically just ask to switch plans to a much more cost efficient ev plan, in which case, most people will end up saving money, instead of spending more, despite increasing totalal kWh used. I have sce and pay about 13-16 cents a kilowatt depending on when I’m charging
I moved into my place on Jan 7. Set up pge for TOU plan but it shows it won’t activate till next billing cycle. Been charging at .26/kwh...My electric bill only went up about 20$ and I drive almost 2000 miles a month.

But we do have a wonderful 10% sales tax, RTA (google it) Tax, and an awesome $225 EV registration fee.@P3d - feel for you dude. You should move to Washington. Second lowest electric rates in the country and no state income tax either.
