Electricity is more expensive in California. I pay an average of 35¢/kWh. According to Google, the Chevy Volt battery capacity is 60kWh. So $21 instead of $12

They should also couple a "nationalization" of PG&E with this too. Municipal run power is typically cheaper than investor owned power.

- rahimnathwani 4y agoFor the past year, we've had a PG&E time of use plan, which is cheaper after 9pm, when we charge our car. According to PG&E's online tool, we save about $20/year on our bill compared with the regular tariff. But we could save an additional $35/year if we were to switch to the plan that's specifically for EV owners. I haven't verified these numbers myself, but I was surprised they're so low. Perhaps it's because we don't drive a lot.
