Any NYC/ConEd customers?

    I was just on the ConEd website and of course the options are confusing. I'm a residential customer that would like to install a charger, but how they do the install can be critical to how much you pay for the electric. They offer time-of-use options, but that would impact the rate I pay for all of my usage during the peak hours. That doesn't sound like a great plan since it would increase the cost of everything else. There is also a second meter option that would incur a fixed cost each month plus usage that only applied to the charger. The midnight to 8am rate is 1.68/kWh, which is really cheap. But the peak rate is 24/kwh, which is expensive. The second meter option is a higher upfront cost too.

    It is all really confusing, but I wonder if it is worth worrying about for the amount of power I'm using. If I drained the battery every day commuting I could see wanting a very low rate, but if I'm only using it for errands during the week maybe I don't need to worry about charging costs? I just don't know. I've never driven regularly to commute as most NYers just don't drive to Manhattan.

    Any advice?
