In California, grid-tied solar buys electricity from the grid (when the site needs it) at retail prices, but sells it back to the grid at wholesale prices (when generating). bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/20/2017 10:58 AM, Paul Stewart wrote: <blockquote> I’d have to double check the exact amount but here in Ontario, the power you sell back at something like 90 cents Kwh … very inflated to encourage more people to generate their own power and sell it back to the “system” - in my opinion it’s driven the price of purchasing/consuming power artificially high as well … real problem here…. <blockquote> On Mar 20, 2017, at 1:46 PM, Robert < [email protected] > wrote: My solar system stores energy in the form of gravity potential...

Most of my wife’s driving is 70mph or less and more city driving than what you probably do. We probably charge 50 miles per day average and the car gets about 3.5-4m per kWh. Our worst rate is about 10.1 cents per kWh on peak during the week. Solar doesn’t help us in charging since the care is gone at 7:30am and doesn’t get home until after 6:30.

I never trust that display, I always use battery percentage. But I drive 80 mph everywhere, freeway. I am solar powered at my house and other people pay for the power other places I charge. So there is no cost of energy for me. But if I was paying, it would be about 12 cents per kWh (it can go as low as 8 cents depending on how you do it). So $3.60/charge or 3 cents per mile. (2.4 cents per mile at the lower tariff) Hyundai was getting 34 mpg. So 7.4 cents per mile. *From:*Rory Conaway *Sent:*Sunday, March 19, 2017 9:57 PM *To:* [email protected] *Subject:*Re: [AFMUG] OT Tesla So after 2 days with the Leaf and the 30Kw battery, our estimate is that it’s actually underrated or they have found other ways to save power. I definitely notice more aggressive regen control on eco mode but we are seeing 120-125 mile on the display even after using 5-8% of the battery. Considering you can drive one for about $4K a year, almost no maintenance, and about ¼ of the cost of gas, it’s got to be one of the best values out there.

Think this will hurt sales? They already did this to the Model X. Or are they hoping the Model 3 will fill the gap?

Any 60 kWh Model S will have the ability to upgrade their battery to 75 kWh via an over the air update. </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote>
