Being totally new to this, had the car for 3 days... Thinking about solar but nowhere near that yet...
So would you switch to an EV plan with your utility (PG&E, no solar for now), to get the 11PM-7AM break, or does whatever current residential default plan I (and everyone else has by default) work the same re: night time discount ? I can't get a straight answer from PG&E !
Right now I'm on the sad 110V charger, which takes longer to recharge than the 11-7 window (11-12hrs for my commute), so if I bought a 240V charger I could fit within that 11-7 window and save on kwh prices presumably... I'd like to know if I also need to change plans now that I'm charging that golf, or if even generic plans are cheaper at night? and if I did switch to an EV plan, would it affect my rates the rest of the time unfavorably ? I'm sure I cannot be the first to ask, sorry if this is common, I searched but it was mostly about solar... I don't have solar...
