Got my car 2.5 months ago MS60...and my electric bill is up around 50%...here are some stats
2012
July kWh=936
Aug kWh=1959
Sept kWh=1566
2013
July 1068
Aug 1775
Sept 1435
2014
July 1495
Aug 2550
Sept 2129
As you can see, my numbers are a lot higher (kWh per month) than in the years past. I drive about 1000 miles per month, so I didn't expect my electric bill to be 40-50% higher than in years past. Am I doing something wrong? I should mention that I've usually been charging my car at very low amperage (usually between 6 and 10) because I read that this is better for the battery.
