Gas vs Electric cost

We have a 30amp outlet for when my son visits in his RV. Will I be able to plug my Slate into that just like it is? With only a plug adapter?

it appears you could, you will not get the benefit of off peak rates

some electric companies issue you a credit for installing an off peak charging station

Gas prices here in So Calif are currently just under $6/gallon and it's going higher due to refinery issues.

EV rates are high (home charging) but much cheaper using Tesla Superchargers (w/ Tesla membership).

EV is still way cheaper even if you have to charge at public fast chargers.....

Thanks. I’m not sure if FPL has off peak rates. But I will check that out!

our basement floor heat is electric, we have off peak for that, our off peak is 1/2 the normal rate

I have a relatively that just got on an EV program with a rate of $15 per month + $0.01 per kilowatt from 10pm to 6am

I've had a Tesla Model Y Long Range for five years now, and the charge stats over the last 12 months show I spent $801 charging (to include estimates of home charging, which at 11.5kW (using a Tesla wall connector at 48A) represents 88% of my charging. Total was for 4,167KWh, and estimates I saved $1,147 in gasoline equivalent costs. My local utility actually lets me allow them to manage when the vehicle charges to keep it only during off-peak hours, saving $10/month off my electric bill. I can force it to charge any time, though.
