i just looked up the residential rate for the Big Island and see it is like 34 cents / kWh.
Here in the SF Bay Area electricity runs about 12 - 20 cents / KWh.
My average cost is just under 15 cents.
Supercharger here is 26 cents / kWh.
So 34 cents / kWh is ~probably~ less than buying gasoline on the Big Island.
But is steep compared to the mainland (which is expected).
We’re considering moving to Waimea from the SF Bay Area (but not soon ) and I’m really curious on the EV charging situation.
I’m wondering how folks in Hawaii (and more specifically the Big Island) feel about the cost savings of an EV.
(Assuming charging at home.)
Still less cost than gasoline?
Does it make sense to install solar?
Or install a wind powered generator?
Thx for info on this.
