I just moved to MA from CA, and this is the first month I have a "full bill" for electricity and gas, and it seems insanely high. Our heating is gas and we didn't need heat in California, so it's hard for me to "ballpark" how much we are using, but it was 70 therms this month ($100).
Our electricity came to 700 kWh ($168). In California, where we obviously brought all of the same electronics, our electricity bill WITHOUT the Tesla was about 300kWh ($30). It's important to note that the Tesla used to be plugged in to an electric outlet that we did not get billed for in a shared garage (with our landlord's knowledge). So, we never really knew how much electricity it was using. That said, this would "suggest" it used 400kWh of electricity. That seems insanely high. One reason is that we drove it less than 25 miles this month. I was traveling aboard, and the snow storms kept it in. I find it impossible to believe it vampire drained 400kWh of electricity.
I'd love to call NSTAR (aka. Eversource), but their customer service appears to be closed entirely on the weekends. My electricity breakdown was $64 in delivery charge, $104 in generation charge. Is the cost of electric just that insanely high in MA?
