Controversial take, but if you have an EV, should do most of your charging at home. If you're taking a trip sure, you'll have to pay more for charging stations

Controversial take, but if you have an EV, should do most of your charging at home. If you're taking a trip sure, you'll have to pay more for charging stations, but in general, travel always costs more (food, housing, etc).
- lambdasquirrel 3y agoIt depends. In California and all the sunshine belt states, it probably makes more sense to charge at work, in the long run.
- r00fus 3y ago"it probably makes more sense" - only if your workplace cares about retention.
- vel0city 3y agoWith the large amount of wind energy in Texas the best time to start charging is like 1-2AM. You still have tons of wind energy, but the demand has fallen considerably. This is usually the time where Texas experiences negative wholesale electric rates. Sure, there's lots of solar potential during the day, but that's also the peak energy use by a good amount. You're already wanting solar to smooth out that curve instead of making that demand peak even peakier.
