My Model S is projected to be produced in mid December and I need advice on off peak charging. I am in Texas and our electricity is pretty cheap compared to a lot of other places at $0.10/Kw anytime 24 hours a day. My current energy usage on average is 4500 Kwh/month before the car. I inquired to our local utility to see if there were any cheaper rates to charge off peak, and this is the off peak plan they have:
$10.50 Service Availability Charge
Summer Billing (June - September)
$0.160 Per KWH for all On Peak KWH
$0.051 Per KWH for all Off Peak KWH
Non-Summer Billing (October - May)
$0.105 Per KWH for all On Peak KWH
$0.051 Per KWH for all Off Peak KWH
I wasn't sure that was such a good deal as during the summer my hot Texas AC use will go up an additional 6 cents a Kw. What do you all think better to stay with the current plan or go for the tiered pricing? Thanks for any insight and advice.
