“It is true that the utility company PG&E will allow us to sign up for a rate plan that allows us to charge at night "off peak" times for $0.25 per kwhr. However, to get this plan we must agree to pay a much higher price for other times of day, like over $0.54 per kwhr. PG&E has a portal where we can look up our hour-by-hour consumption. I've done this a few times. The "Off-peak EV rate charging plan" is mostly a wash at best. At worst, like if we don't use the car every day, it would shift more of our consumption into the super-high "peak rate" of $0.54.
- This is not true based on my experience, and the data I showed above. If more charging happens during off-peak hours, it’ll bring down the average $/kWh even more.
As you said, based on your experience. That's your experience. I wasn't referring to your experience. I was ref...
We pay 5x the electricity compared to a flyover state.
What’s wrong with the native folks here who grew up speaking the language since they were born?
Ha ha ha! Let me know where I can purchase electricity at 9¢ kWh. How much are states subsidizing electric car charging (which seems to me to be a luxury compared to keeping the lights on or cooking food).

Yes.
And you boasted how it's Silicon Valley Chump change for you to pay that much, paid for house and 15k per month etc.
That's the kind of in-your-face Smug Bay Area braggadocio that makes our cousins in FlyOver Country hate

That's the kind of in-your-face Smug Bay Area braggadocio that makes our cousins in FlyOver Country hate us. I only lived here, but I have many folks all over the US. I've spent a lot of time in their parts and fit right in when I'm among them. The Smug, Boastful talk is why they hate us. They hate us for other stuff too involving how we tolerate certain over-the-top liberal behaviors.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of humility.

Regarding my PG&E and EV scenario, your billing scheme would at best be a wash for me. More likely, because I am a stupid sh*t, I would not save money on it. I don't need to boast in our Flyover Friends' faces who follow these threa...

Its about 11 cents per kW-hour in Northwest Florida or Florida panhandle (aka: LA as in Lower Alabama) for electricity, boy.
I read it averages about 25 cents per kW-hour in Los Angeles, and I wonder if that is going to be problematic if climate trends lead to more air condition usage in Los Angeles.
About 35% to 65% of my home's electricity bill is for air conditioning from March through November in the Florida panhandle. My family wants to keep the thermostat down to 70 degrees Fahrenheit so the humidity averages about 50% during the summer.

How are Hunter and Joe not in jail for such flagrant and open corruption?
Your assumption seems a little high. I get 285-290 Wh/mile on average with my Model S. It’s a bigger and heavier car. I would think the Model 3 would get better mileage than mine.
You say charging EV at home is a wash. I shared data that’s it’s no
Before you hitch an Airstream to your electric truck and set out to circumnavigate the country, you need to understand this: With the largest available battery pack, a fully charged 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning electric truck has less energy onboard than a regular F-150 with four gallons of gas in its tank.
So per gallon prices are down, but the state isn't collecting the tax that was meant to keep our roads and bridges in good shape.
biological crude/diesel from algae becomes economically viable
economically viable
It’s getting to the point where the JouleUnlimited biological crude/diesel from algae becomes economically viable, I would think. If CA fuel holds above $6/gal line it seems to be now, this has got to be potentially a solution. I wonder why the venture with Audi out in the New Mexico desert pilot project shut down…..
This fuel should meet the CA RFS and CARBOB requirements based on the information they have divulged.
Brazil understand this enough several years ago :
" Brazil today is home to the world's largest fleet of cars that use ethanol derived from sugarcane
