You assumed the lowest incremental cost and I presented the average and highest incremental cost. You apparently want to consider the cost of electricity for the golf cart to be different from the cost of electricity for other appliances. I don’t make a distinction. Pick your poison. I looked at my last 17 SECO bills and less than half had a negative PCA. 5 bills had a positive PCA yielding a per kWh cost as high as 18 cents per kWh. We typically run over 1000 kWhs for 5 months of the year. My wife likes it chilly.

Hot bucks varies with the economy and not the season. As we went into a period of high inflation the hot bucks disappeared. As inflation lessened the hot bucks subtraction came back.

I believe I had one bill over 1000kWh last year, even with all the AC. Of course, YMMV.
