Not bad for a months worth of driving!

In Houston within ERCOT territory, I pay $0.0 at nights, so all my charging is free.
During the day I run off of home battery + a small solar system.
Basically I only pay for a few loads like the oven/stove and dryer which are not on the battery backup system when I use those during the day (before 8pm at night).
My last bill was $24 for the month of which $6 is a flat monthly fee.

$0.22 per kWh. No time of use. Not including my undersized solar system. It’s a damn bargain out here in Southern California. My parents live about 3 miles from me on SCE and pay way way more.

SCE on the ToU plan here. 4pm to 9pm fully loaded is ~$.68/kWh, all other hours ~$.25/kWh. Needless to say I shut off as much as possible from 4pm to 9pm and never charge at those hours.

$.31 NJ (total cost; delivery charges have ballooned lately)

Ouch, so if my math is correct, if you are getting what I get on average of 2.0 mi kwh and gas price is around $3.00 per gal, at 31 cents you are not gaining/saving from an ICE F150 getting 20 mpg. ??

thats right. say its about $35 to 'fill' the electric tank and i get ~200miles in the winter, at $3/gal it costs $70 to fill an F150 which gets about 400-500miles. So at this price its nearly the same cost as gas.

About 0.30 overnight here in NorCal, with EV2 TOU plan. That includes transmission, which is the largest cost. I am guessing that half of these reported numbers are just quoting their generation cost and not including transmission.

I hate the add ons our natural gas does a lot of that. When you go to the grocery store they don’t add on for the transportation, handling, and use of the scale. It is part of doing business.

Most utilities have to breakout their costs due to regulations. Your grocery store puts the scale cost in their overhead and marks up all groceries by the overhead percentage.

I was wondering about people’s price to charge your lightning at home?

What is your lowest rate per kilowatt?

I pay 14¢ in British Columbia.

There are websites to show national (US) electricity costs, which vary widely. If Bob pays 40 cents, and Mary pays 20 cents, that tells you what?

Here in Ontario, our rates just went up on November 1. There are three plans to choose from: Tiered Pricing, Time Of Use Pricing, or Ultra-Low Overnight Pricing. The third is what one should be using if they have an EV.

The simple answer is we pay about 8.9 to 10 cents per kWh (including sales tax). Note that this is in Canadian funds.

Note that the customer charge, delivery charge, and "rebate" (i.e. taxpayer-paid subsidy) effectively add about $0.04-$0.05 per kWh to the electricity cost, regardless of time. There is also 13% sales tax.

The electricity cost is as follows (these are all-year):

• ULO On-Peak: 39.1 cents per kWh (weekdays 4 pm to 9 pm)
• ULO Mid-Peak: 15.7 cents per kWh (weekdays 7 am to 4 pm and 9 pm to 11 pm)
• ULO Off-Peak: 9.8 cents per kWh (weekends and stat holidays 7 am to 11 pm)
• ULO Overnight: 3.9 cents per kWh (every day 11 pm to 7 am)

Now, we can further benefit from this plan by not using the clothes dryer or run the oven's self-cleaning cycle until after 11 pm.

HOWEVER, compared to the Time Of Use pricing, Ultra-Low Overnight has some additional costs:

• TOU On-Peak is 20.3 cents per kWh
• TOU On-Peak is weekdays 7 am to 11 am and 5 pm to 7 pm Nov 1 to Apr 30
• TOU Mid-Peak is weekdays 11 am to 5 pm Nov 1 to Apr 30
• TOU On-Peak and Mid-Peak swap timeslots May 1 to Oct 31
• TOU Off-Peak also applies weekdays 7 pm to 7 am

So basically, on the ULO plan, there is no Off-Peak time on weekdays and you pay significantly more for On-Peak electricity (though in the summer it applies 11 am to 5 pm, while ULO you pay the Mid-Peak price 11 am to 4 pm).

If most of one's EV charging is restricted to 11 pm to 7 am, ULO will be significantly less expensive. On the odd rare occasion, we might need to charge a bit during the day on a weekend, but we will just do this for what we expect to need and leave the rest until overnight.

ULO pricing does have me doing the math to get batteries to charge during the ULO period for use during On-Peak and Mid-Peak times.

I haven’t charged the Lighting at home yet in the two years I’ve had it. Charge for free at work. Rates at home are .17-.22 cents per kWh. Also have solar that would offset if I did need to charge at home.

 

[TaxmanHog]

The Mass. National Grid kWh rates (no TOU available) since owning the Lightning have ranged:
2022 (22.5 to 48.3) cents
2023 (24.2 to 31.8) cents
2024 (31.6 to 35.3) cents
2025 (33.9 to 41.1) cents

Cali off peak is 31c per KWH. Not great .
Solar helps offset at 51c per KWH till around 4 pm

14cents night rate in NJ

I did my calculations the other day for McPherson, KS. I charge at night at $.07077 per KWH. Typically get about 2.2 miles per KWH on the interstate at 80 mph but better on the state highway at 65. Figuring 2.2 equals $.032 per mile for electricity. With gas around here running around $2.50 a gallon that comes out to 78 miles per gallon equivalent or rounds up to 80. $4.00 a gallon gas would be 125 miles per gallon and $5.00 a gallon gas would be 156 miles per gallon equivalent.

A 100 kwh charge costs me $7.08.

2.2 on the highway doing 80mph? Are you serious? Unless you're going downhill, that's pretty hard to do.

My lifetime is 1.7 or 1.8, and I do mid 70s at most.

When winter hits, you'll be doing much less too.
