I am supposed to pick up my car this week... so, I called PG&E to try to get an estimate on how much additional electricity I will be consuming. Some data points:
1. I am currently on E1 rate plan (non TOU)
2. I consume on avg 1000 KW per month. I am up in tier 4 and 5 due to my pool filter pump (i assume). I don't have AC in my home.
3. My avg electric bill is $250 per month
4. PG&E said that if I fully charge the leaf every day, I will consume about 792 additional KW per month. As such, my bill could go up by $270. They estimate a full charge to be 26.4 KW x 30 days.
I could change my rate plan to E9V to add TOU with a second meter. I am wondering if this will be a painful process as my home was built around 1970. I do have an upgraded panel, but my service line is original. I am told I have 240 volts from PG&E, according to their agent.
Currently, I spend about $30 per week on gas for my Prius. So, my guess is, the Leaf will be a push based on fuel/electric costs.
Any thoughts? And, thanks in advance.
