Trying to figure out how much the Tesla is adding to my electric bill. I received it at the end of June and drive approximately 80 miles 5 days a week. I have 4,539 miles on it.so about 1,800 miles a month. I am using the hpwc at 80 amps everynight to recharge. On the past two months our electric bills seem to have increased about $200 a month which seems high. But we also live in South Florida and some is probably due to increase do in airconditioner usage. I need to call electric company to compare bills to this time last year and also check on rate increases.
I'm also concerned about the hpwc efficiency as I noticed the handle was very hot the other day when I unplugged it in the middle of charging. I plan to call Tesla as I've read in this forum about others with Heat issues. In the meantime I cut the amps way down to 60amps as I hope the will be less heat and a more efficient charge.
Any input on what the Tesla does or should add to the electric bill much appreciated
Thanks
