Yes, but I would rather not invalidate the warranty. :)

Sorry. Been Away and did not realize new posts were being made. I have two chargers. A 3.3KW Cipper Creek and a 7 KW GE (the one in the ugly white box). I have the GE one dropped to 2.7 kw using the jumper, but could get it back to 3.3, 5 kw, or 7KW, should I desire. I might have stumbled on a...

Yep. Already looked into it. But they will not allow two non-standard rates. Also, in my unique case, I do not have adequate access for a second meter for the ev rate. Living in an zero lot line home has limits.

It is confusing. The form of peak use charge is not the norm. Most people are use to the peak time use (7am - 5pm, for example) when the cost/kwh is increased. Trying to explain it to people is tough.

It isn't what I wanted to hear, but what I need to hear that matters. I'll get over it. Thanks for the feedback. I need to call my wife and ask her where she wants to eat and what movie she wants to see so we can have this conversation with minimal bloodshed.

Sorry I failed to address this option earlier. I would prefer to avoid this option, if possible, for the following reasons: 1. Wife is due to give birth in June. Using the 120v is not optimal for her and she is currently ill-tempered. 2. Juneau, AK is in a rainforest. Seriously. We have between...

In AELP's defense, the standard rate for electric is 13 cents. That is reduced to 5.9 cents on my peak rate. 100% of our electric is hydro, so they are encouraging consistent useage across users. It is not easy to turn hydro up and down and requires a more consistent useage rate. Hence the peak...

Thanks for the reply. But as I am married and my wife will not be pleased with another $300-500 purchase of aother EV charger, is it safe to use a cycle charge or will it ruin the battery? Or is this just plain unknown. :)

I have looked everywhere (including this site) and do not see an answer to this problem. I live in Juneau, AK. I am on a Peak rate. However, the peak rate is not a time-of-day rate. The peak rate is a useage peak rate where I am charges $10 per KW used in my highest 15 minute "peak" in a single...
