>Yea, so the cost of electricity is 25c/kWh (NYC)

Is that 24 hours a day, 7 days a week?




That's the same rate from ConEd. It's actually more like like 27c or 28c. 9c for electricity, 13c or more for delivery and rest taxes. I paid $370 for like 1350kwh last July, I switched to solar last August and that will pay itself in about 5 years.

There are TOU rates, but there are from 8am to midnight.


Charging overnight is how to take advantage of TOU rates. Fortunately electric cars support charging schedules.
