I'm planning my Mach-E purchase and decided to look into electricity plans that will make charging at night cheaper. There are some variable rate/free nights & weekend plans that might help but their daytime rates are significantly higher than the flat kwh rate I'm paying now. I guess I'm still likely to save some money once I start charging overnight, but my wife works from home now so cranking up the temperature on the thermostat during work hours isn't really viable anymore.
I have a flat rate TXU plan now that's been okay (switched from Griddy in the hours right before Snowmageddon/Snowvid, thank god. Am paying about 30% more but at least I don't have to worry about $9/kwh rates during extreme weather), and they -say- they have an EV Pass add-on that halves the night-time rate but it doesn't appear to work with my current plan.
Has anyone found any rate plans that are clearly advantageous for EV charging without making the daytime rate absurdly high? I know we all _LOVE_ the deregulated grid and electricity resellers here in Texas, but trying to math-out all the different plans, factor in consumption levels, etc.,, is a pain in the ass.
