I'm a happy girl. April was my full month of ownership and PG&Es E-9 electrical rate for EV owners. I am also a solar generator, having provided all my own electricity + a very small excess the past 2 years. So here's what happened in April:
1) I charged Sally only after midnight, 70% of the time to 80%, the rest to 100% capacity (drove ~1000 miles in April)
2) Yes I used more electricity than I generated - expected that.
3) I sold back at the standard daytime rate.
My bill for April was -$4.22!! Yes, you are reading right. Even though I used more juice than I produced, my bill was negative- due to the rates for daytime and nighttime. For me, E-9 is a big success!
