I obtained my data concerning the actual per kWh charges for all three rate schedules (standard tiered home use, EV, and EV-TOU) after several conversations with SDG&E billing department and confirmation that indeed the 0.095 is to be added to the published rates as I show in my post for every group and tier rate.
My information includes ONLY per kWh charges and not taxes or other percentage based fees as this would further muddy the waters. So it is actually worse.
If you call SDG&E on the phone number that is on your bill they are clueless, you must asked to be transferred to the group that is in charge of these rate billing – which is where I received my confirmations. I confirmed these rates again the day of my post.
I know that there are several SDG&E employee Leaf owners – maybe they can chime in?
I have repeatedly asked SDG&E to change their format so that the “below the line” per kWh costs are rolled up into their cost schedule table shown at the top of their bill. They just keep telling me to look at the asterisk which points you to the additional charges below that are not included in the rates shown in the table. PLEASE CALL THEM AND ASK – maybe if enough people call they will tell the truth.
Did any of you see the post of the Purdue University study showing that SDG&E is over charging EV rates? They saw through the smoke.
But not to worry – as I said in my post I will get 150 mpg for the same100 mile fuel cost of driving my Honda Civic Hybrid. As someone mentioned earlier in addition to the 3,000 bonus mile I mentioned the tax breaks add another 100,000 bonus miles.
As for why my Leaf was delayed from April delivery to “the month of June” – good question. I have chatted with Nissan 3 times and there is no good answer. Although they said it could possibly move up it hasn’t so far.
