Now that I have solar and feel relatively isolated from PUC gouging (except for the increasing minimum fees), I leased an EV and will be adding another shortly. Before my first EV, I have had a surplus of credit due to the lucrative PV/TOU plan for my usage with SCE. At the end of the year my $4xx.00 credit was mailed to me pennies on the dollar. The addition of EVs to the mix will fix that problem. My comment /question is regarding the low price of energy on TOU plan that used to be $0.11 super off peak, that is now $0.13/kWh. At that low price, EVs show significant fuel savings. But, PUCs always f*@# you, so as they decide to raise the rates, it becomes less and less clever to use EV from a fuel cost perspective. Also going from $0.13/kWh to $0.20/kWh could be a 50% increase in my fuel costs! I have this sneaking suspicion that the PUCs are trying to get everyone switched to EV on cheap off-hours energy so that they can slowly stick it to us once we are pregnant ....
PS. Anyone know what the proposed SCE 2018+ rate hikes are supposed to mean for PV and/or EV owners?
