Hi guys,
I just bought my first EV. A leaf.
I am deciding between using my existing home electrical system as is, versus having a second electric meter for the EV only which supplies electricity at a reduced cost of 5 cents per KWH.
My town has an incentive for EV owners and said you can install a second electric meter, they charge $300 for the meter and you install it with your own electrician at your own cost.
I do about 15,000 miles per year, 55 mile round trip to work 5 days per week, plus weekend use.
I am just wondering is it an economically sound decision versus plug n play as is on the existing electric system.
MOD NOTE: Please don't put your titles in all caps. -drees
