Hi folks,
Recently some public chargers near me went from free from $1.50/hour. I'm trying to figure out if that's cheaper than home charging or not. Before you say it's more expensive than home, consider the things working against me at home:
I'm on PG&E E6 rate and typically hit tier 3, so the charge is $0.24163/kWh
I charge with an original L1 charger (which has 70% efficiency?).
When charging in public, I use the 6.6kWh charger L2 charger only (no L3 charger on my car).
I'm on a 2013 model year, fwiw.
Does anyone know how to do the calculation to figure out what's a good deal for public charging for me? I suppose this calculation would be further complicated by the fact that some public charging is on 208V rather than 240V.
Thanks so much!
