Rat said:I went ahead and ordered E9A. We'll see how it goes. So far no word from PG&E about when it will be installed but another Leaf buyer I know has already changed his house over to that rate. I don't think he has his first bill yet, though. If the meter isn't installed before 11/1 I won't be subject to peak rates until May. I am currently only slightly into Tier 2. If I can stay under Tier 3 I'll be saving money on the whole house even before I get the Leaf delivered. Off peak even Tier 3 rates are barely higher than my regular rate now, so I don't see how I can lose. I don't expect to have trouble recharging off peak, but we'll see. If I find that to be a problem, I can probably switch with my wife on days when I plan to go more than 20 miles, as she almost never drives that far.
E9 seems better than E6, the payout on solar is a penny or two less in the day but the evening rates are much better so even without an EV I should be better off.
