What is your electricity rate?

[gorwell]

Winter ev rate: .10 (peak .15)

Summer ev rate: .12 (peak .32)

Sacramento with SMUD with 5.1 solar system.

Will be charging two EVs when f150 comes.

Over the course of the year, I would we expect to pay a little ... With one EV, Ive got a 120 dollar credit.

Yes, National Grid. Rate went up a bit sometime in the last few months (was surprised when I did the math a few weeks ago). They hide it well with all of the crazy breakdowns they do.

Good to know. Last year(when calculating our solar payback) it was 13.3c/KwH. This just makes solar look better and better.

I'm waiting to see if any remnants of the BBB can pass Congress(or any climate bill for that matter). Buried in the climate provisions were a 10yr extension of the solar credits. As it stands now solar credits phase out after 2023. If we get a Lightning and my wife gets an EV then we may try to go all out on solar. About 75% of our roof is covered now..will cover our home power plus about 3600mi of EV usage. Would like to see if we can cover most of our anticipated EV needs via solar

Georgia Power is running about 11cents per kwh, although round up to 12cents overall after taxes and other 'monthly' fees...

My rate is simple. 8¢/kwh generation and 8¢/kwh distribution, etc. This is for western PA near Pittsburgh. Out in countryside it’s a little less.

In the winter when I use more than I generate on my Solar panels I pay $0.0830 cents per kWh (Canadian).

In the summer when I generate more power than I use - I get paid at a rate of $0.2585 cents per kWh.

Wow! I went from 6.3 cents to 9 cents per KWH. I thought 9 cents was high but some of the rates I see in this thread make me feel lucky

 

[Nick Gerteis]

TVA is 11cents any time, but they pay me 14cents for all my solar production. Ahead by hundreds of $, haven’t paid a light bill or bought gasoline in years.

In SoCal.

This must be EV rate. With F150, you can save a lot by charging during night.

We have 2 places here in Washington with the Seattle area being a flat $0.10252 per KWh which is pretty low. In Central Washington area though, we are looking at $0.027 per KWh.

So while Seattle is still pretty low on energy costs nationally, Central Washington is basically dirt cheap. The best aspect of this is that 90% of the power production is hydroelectric with the other 10% coming from Wind/Nuclear/Small-Scale Solar (house installs). With energy costs the way it is, Solar installs in Central Washington as a result are pretty minimal even though the area gets great solar exposure. Its really because Washington produces a third of all hydro-electric power in the country.
If you want to know though...

Our electricity is 0.51 per day connection fee, and probably 2 to 4 dollars a month in other fees plus about 0.19 per kWh. When charging EVs the rate from 9pm to 1pm is about 0.145 per kWh. We were part of a solar CSA (group grid tied net metering) where we were paying for 4 percent of the output of a 200mw solar array. This essentially wiped out our electric bill, but the CSA was sold to a green non-profit farm. In Vermont out net metering credits expire a year after they are generated, so for the past two months there has been no bill from to he electric company or the CSA. We just had our roof redone a couple weeks ago and are having solar panels installed later this spring/summer. If we overproduce we will consider it a green contribution to the community, though we may get a high efficiency hear pump installed in the house and use that for more of our heating and cooling needs in the future.

Time of Use is generally the best time to charge an EV no matter the cost. Shift what you can like water heater or hot tub to laundry during that time frame.

My TOU is a bit higher since I don't use much power. The rolling costs keep it on average 10 cents KWH. I have another house that is set month to month currently at 18 cents KWH. Hope to move to either TOU something like free nights and weekends deal.

The TOU tends to be better for the power companies.

I'm also on PG&E but in Monterey. No A/C and I have a solar system. The advantage of the solar even is that we generate enough to keep us inside the tier 1 rates on your chart (0.29 for offpeak and .30 for part peak in the winter) , and I don't pay peak rates. First few years of owning the system we never paid an annual true-up but the last two years with everyone at home and 4-5 computers running during the day I've had to pay a true-up cost. It's only been a few hundred dollars, about what we could have paid for a big month prior to solar install. I think after 7 years they have more than paid for themselves.

I live in El Dorado County, near Sacramento in Northern California. PG&E rate is terribly high.

I have never lived in CA, but I've come to understand that living there is like living with a really hot chick who is ultra-high maintenance. Except now that hot girl is in her mid 40s and the bloom is a bit off the rose - with homeless encampments, lack of law enforcement, high taxes, high cost of living etc. Kind of an Amber Turd type of situation. I live in GA and my marginal rate is 9 cents a kwh. I wouldn't kick Amber Turd out for eating crackers in bed, but I would if she dropped a deuce in my bed.

~$0.25/kWh in MA. There's no off peak discount.
