One item I never see provided with these EV videos. How much will my electric bill go up every month from charging? I mean, I don't have a windmill or solar panels to rely on....
I did some work for a guy who owns a Tesla Model 3.
He said his electric bill is average about $20 month.
My daughter who has a Model X said their electricity bill did not go up much higher to even be noticeable.
And she drives 170 miles several times a week between their house between Loomis, CA and Reno, NV.
I have no idea how he calculated his usage. When he told me that, he also added that "it wasn't noticeable".
Electric company here gives no discounts for off peak usage. In fact they jack the rates up in the summer.
I don't know either. But she was smiling as she was answering my question.
Maybe because it was prefaced by my earlier question on how much are they spending monthly for the Range Rover they've been using to shuttle between these two location before they got the Model X.
