Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

$0.40 per kWh here :-/
We also have that in the morning when everybody get up, and then again around dinner time. Prices often even go slightly higher than that in those periods.
Our rates are hourly, so charging the car at night you can generally get power for 15 cent per kWh.
6 cent is very cheap and does not generally occur during winter, but I bet that very soon when the spring gets milder, we will see below 10 cent regularly.
For us solar with battery is brilliant, because even when there is little to no sun at dinner, we have enough on the battery to cover both the expensive periods 6 moths of the year. Most days even when cloudy, we can still make enough to cover the entire 24 hours.
