    Cobb EMC in suburban Atlanta now offering free EV charging from 12a to 6a with Niteflex rate plan:

    They're encouraging you to shift usage to overnight hours by offering 400 free kwh per billing cycle in order to lessen demand for peak usage power plants to come online.

    A full charge on the Prime at 6.5 kwh x 30 days would be 195 kwh; I'll see what happens running dishes and laundry in that time as well.

    Hope it works for you.
    For me I found variable rate pricing doesn’t work for me. Basically the daytime/peak variable rate is so high my a/c usage wipes out any night time savings. Sure, I could sit and swelter but my wife would make things difficult for me. :) Not worth it.

    Thanks.

    On peak rate is $0.135/kwh vs off peak $0.07181/kwh

    Here's our power use graph from August; I'd like to think I can trim those spikes
