I use to live on the corner of Neptune and Bonair... last place the fog would burn off.
Pretty desirable address--Windansea Beach, my favorite spot!
It think it begins with installation. Please note there is no weekend rate.
Ya, I called SDG&E and they said the 2nd TOU meter is effective as soon as it's mounted, but I won't be sure what rates they are charging me until I see my next bill. I got deeply into Tier 4 rates on my DR schedule charging the Leaf on L1 last month. It probably cost me $80 to drive 1100 miles. This next month should cut that by 2/3 or more.
The fact that they don't charge different weekend rates does not fit with the Blink firmware. It only allows you to choose WEEKDAY or WEEKEND when you enter a rate. There is no choice for EVERY DAY. I called them and there is a firmware update being planned to improve the user interface, and they have this feature on the list already. As it is, with 3 rates that change from Summer to Winter, I would have to make 12 entries on the rate screen, which is pretty damn burdensome.
Does it lose them if the Blink loses power or are the rate schedules retained in non-volatile memory?
