I called my electric company First Energy (JCP&L in NJ) based on a few suggestions from the Mach E board to see if they offered any incentives for PEVs and EVSEs. As it turns out, they did not have any (although I did see one for Chevy Volt and a Nissan LEAF on their website). They do offer the Average Payment Plan (APP), where it basically Levels out your Electric Bill.
Good news is New Jersey is offering A $1,500 grant toward the purchase of a dual-port Level 2 EV charging station.
Question, I know the answer is "it depends on how often you drive the car and consume KWH from charging the EV" but Im trying to get an average/estimate kWH so I can figure out the additional electric costs per year e.g. a Swag amount?
My current usage for the past 13 months
For a larger house, the average size comes out to around 4,000 square feet and the average amount of energy consumed within a home this size is around 26,400 kWh/annual (this is inline with my house w 4 kids and a pool). For smaller homes around 2,000 square feet it would be around 15,900 kWh/annual
Im seeing about $0.14 USD per kWh that my electric company is charging me.
I read "Mach-E’s 84 MPGe, using 33.705 kilowatt-hours per gallon, converts to 2.49 miles per kwh"
Using that assumption, if I were to drive 20K miles in a given year + only using my home EVSE to charge my Mach E, I would add approx. $1,124 USD to my annual electric bill. By my calculations...
Did I do that calculation right?
