I am not sure if readers picked up on the nuance of your comment. Seems like your power company, like mine, raises your daytime rate in exchange for giving you a low over night rate. That works out for a lower bill if you can lower energy use during the day and push most of it over nite, but that is not easily done if you work from home or are retired. Charging the car 12k miles per year/1k miles per month should be about 300 kw/h per month. ”Saving“ 6 cents per kw/h on one hand but paying 50% higher during the day for your AC, lights & everything else that spins the meter did not make sense for us.On top of that I have normal residential service from PSE&G in NJ which carries an $.185 to $.195 /kWh rate depending on time of year and how much power you use (over 600 kWh in summer the rate goes up). PSE&G does offer time of use billing, but I work from home 2 days a week and my menopausal wife only works part time - so I don't think I could get away with letting the house warm up to 80 degrees by 8PM when the rate drops from $.27 to $.12.
