Greetings!
In order for those here who enjoy digging into this stuff to help you, you will need to provide some more information. At a minimum you likely need to provide the electricity rate being charged per kWh, and how far you drove each month.
In addition to needed more information about your condo’s electricity billing, we need to know about your personal usage habits.
Based on the limited information presented it looks like they looked at the bill before the charger was installed and the bill after.
I’m scrolling through the 700+ page ComEd rate guide, and on page 280 or so are some sample bills. If your condo common power is on a commercial rate plan, it’s likely that they’re paying demand charges in addition to consumption charges. Your 30 amp circuit would add 5 kW of demand, adding $33 (if the demand charge is $6.59/kW as shown on the sample) to the monthly bill,
even before any energy consumption is accounted for. If you use 250 kWh, you’re probably looking at another $25 - $40 on top of the demand charge. If you’re using 400 kWh per month, you’re looking at an additional $40 to $55 on top of the demand charge.
Have you checked your charge stats on the app?
I can’t really give specific examples. But my electric bill doubled moving to the Tesla from my previous ICE and that’s with charging off off peak, no sentry but with overhead on. That said my electric bill was always less than my average comparable neighbors; at least according to my SCE summary. Post Tesla purchase I’m now towards the top of high users.
Hi @jgoode , Good Luck,
Seems like you're paying commercial rates, so that's less than ideal. Sounds like it's still cheaper than what you'd be paying for gas.
daaaaaaaaaamn ....my rate here in NC is .10....I pay an extra 60-65 dollars a month...where I was paying about $350 a month on gas....and my solar panels are being installed in a week so I may pay less than that soon...sorry your rate is double mine dude....time to move!!!
Greetings! In round numbers, expect 4 mi per kWh, or about 2000 kWh for the 8,000 mi you used. At 10¢/kWh (my rate), that's $200, or $20/mo for the past 10 months. Adjust for your electric rates as necessary.

optimistic in all but the most ideal weather and driving conditions. Budget for 3 miles per kWh when calculating your electricity bill. I'm also curious about your power rate - may parents are on PSE and pay closer to $0.14/kWh all-in (generation, transmission, taxes and other additional charges). That works out to $37/mo rather than $20/mo.
@jgoode: it would be great if you could follow up on your situation.

Opinion only represents jjrandorin the regular poster) One post, account created sunday, last seen on sunday, which means they didnt even log back in after 2-3 days to check the thread that they started.... which to me shows a distinct lack of interest in the question
asked (and thus not worth paying much attention to, for me).

Even in CA, my rate is only $.14/kwh. Still WAY less than any gas car.
I totally agree, @jjrandorin
I'm still curious to learn more about this situation.
Wow another math question. lets see RayKSafety Score 90 (Was 96!)
I'm still curious to learn more about this situation. Assuming you are talking about $3.50/gal for gas, $19 at 180 miles would mean the ICE is getting just over 33MPG, yes? EA is probably charging around $0.43/kWh which, my guess, is about 3X residential rates in NJ. Which is why using fast charging, EA or Superchargers, which have a similar pricing structure, is not meant for day-to-day use. I choose to use a CHAdeMO adapter at a local ChargePoint DCFC because it charges $0.19/kWh, cheaper
than my residential rate here in San Jose. The lowest cost Supercharger rate near me is $0.24/kWh, which is still less than my home rate.
Solar definitely the way to go if you have a sfh |
