SDG&E = San Diego Gas & Electric I thinkwhere do you live?Hawaii
Wow. Even the EV rate plans are high: Electric Vehicle Pricing Plans | San Diego Gas & ElectricSDG&E = San Diego Gas & Electric I think
And I don't think their advertised rates include transmission charges. https://www.sdge.com/sites/default/files/regulatory/6-1-22 Schedule TOU-DR Total Rates Table_1.pdfWow. Even the EV rate plans are high: Electric Vehicle Pricing Plans | San Diego Gas & Electric
They don't, and when you have solar, it gets even uglier with SDG&E. It's one of (the many) reasons I got rid of a Tesla. It was actually more expensive to drive electric many days of the year. I true-up in March, and even though I've overproduced, I can't wait to see how much I owe this year.And I don't think their advertised rates include transmission charges. https://www.sdge.com/sites/default/files/regulatory/6-1-22 Schedule TOU-DR Total Rates Table_1.pdf
If 240V is an option, you'd use less electricity charging due to less conversion losses. (Probably on the order of about 10% or so.) And yes, SDG&E rates absolutely suck! (and the PUC (Public Utilities Commission) works relentlessly to make it suck even more for solar owners.)After my last post I started to use delayed charging ALL of the time. So off peak, 16kWh of electricity ( $.33/kWh) gets me roughly a full charge. That is $5.28 for about 40 miles worth of my driving. Now, if I charge on peak ($.69 kWh), that's $11.04 for roughly the same distance as a gallon of gasoline! (no, solar is not an option for me,bummer) .
However, I did not post just for a bitch-session. I would like to ask if anyone knows if I set my off-peak charge time to 12AM - 6AM AND set it to latest charge time at 6AM departure time, will the car adjust to 12 amps automatically to try to achieve that charge-time goal? ( I'm charging at 120 VAC )

No one ever said it would be cheaper to drive an electric car. A lot of people assume it, though. The same people that assume global carbon emissions will go down in our Green Future (which is not in China or India's future).
Uh, everyone.They have catastrophic wildfires in paradise? Who knew?
I guess we share different definitions of paradise. My paradise has no hurricanes or wildfires.Uh, everyone.
Like saying, "they have catastrophic hurricanes in sunny Florida paradise. Who knew?"
