Give me some sugar baby
Hey guys, a google search took me to this thread as I only recently discovered the ability to sign up with Xcel for their EV plan.
I currently have a 7,000 watt residential solar installation we installed 5 years ago and at the time we opted for the permanent net metering option vs. the option to get monthly/annual payments back from Xcel.
We have a toddler at home with a nanny and our major appliances do get run throughout the day, we also have an older 6 seer air conditioner that sucks a ton of juice... we will probably be replacing that with a higher efficiency unit in a few years (current unit still running strong after 12 years so would be a waste to junk it now).
Does the EV plan make sense? For those of you who signed up for it, can you use any electrician you want after Xcel puts the meter in? It seems from their verbiage that you have to use a breaker panel that Xcel approves but can use your own electrician to do the work.
How much did most of you spend on the electrical installation piece? If I was going to go through all of this trouble I would probably have 80 amp service on a HPWC run to my garage.
Thanks all.
