@Beans4Me This varies wildly depending upon your utility.I’m keep going back and forth on adding a tou meter to my evse. Has anyone come to the conclusion that it doesn’t make sense for their use case?
One scenario we have is my wife does work stretches of over night shifts. She often times leaves early to run errands before her shift and she could be home after the window. So I could end up pay double on those weeks she’s working overnight.
Another scenario is just a heavy day of driving, drop kids off, go to work, leave work, pick up kids, home for a quick dinner, off to activities. 2-3 night are like this. I feel more comfortable being able to top up after we get home before we head out for the extra curriculars
I am also in MN. IF you have Xcel Energy, I would recommend not doing it. They have monthly flat charges that require a lot of miles before you come out ahead.
If you use Facebook, there is a Minnesota Tesla Club group & a MN EV Owners group that may be a better place to get advice specific to your utility.
One other thing, most off peak plans in MN include weekend and some holidays as ‘off-peak’. So you get some flexibility there.
