It wouldn't be a deal breaker for us to switch, but I'd like to know. Thanks.
Our electric bill increase was not noticeable. I'm sure there must have been a small increase, but, as I said, it was not significant. My roughest estimates, based on amperage of charger and time it takes to charge, are an energy cost of about 3 or 4 cents per mile. Cost per mile for gas at 50 mpg & $3.50 per gal would come to about 7 cents.
