Just wait til cities start soaking you for your electricity use at these plug-ins stations and you lucky California people that already are having brownouts sounds like a blast I think I'll wait till they Waterboard and run me dry of gas before I'm on. 🤣🤣🤣

Living in CA, electricity is expensive. Without solar I'm paying $.39 a kw at home on a flat rate plan. If we want a full electric car you're forced to get solar unless you want to pay more than the per mile cost of gas.
I just bought a 530e, loving it, but I didn't buy it to save money, just wanted to dip my foot into what we are being told the future will be. Maybe we will get a full EV for my wife, but it still doesn't feel like the right time. |
That's a high rate. If you're in SoCal you get on a "Prime" plan with a plug in hybrid or EV. That puts my off peak rate at $0.21 / kWH.
My X5 45e has 17kwh of usable battery so filling up the battery costs $3.57 and gets me around 30 miles of all-battery range.
It would take over a gallon of gas at over $5/gallon to get me the same range on gas power.
