I spent a total of $225 this year on electricity. If I had bought a car like a Prius I figured that for the same 8800 miles she drove I would have paid around $1,500 for gas in the Bay Area given how high our gas prices were here this year. However, in order to get that dirt cheap pricing I had to have a second meter onto my house, since I had the largest box that was already installed, I had to do a bunch of extra work, all to the cost of $3,750 (that 2 was 2 grand for electrical work and $1,795 for the Nissan Meter). Unforunately I didn't qualify for the freebie installation of the charger as I live in a more rural area.
So given I saved about approximately $1275 on gas chargers this year that brings my outstanding balance on the charger to $2475...also remember I didn't have to do any oil changes (2 at least) as well. So given this rate I will be in the clear in year 4 of ownership, since I have a 8 year warranty I took out that gives me 4 years on the backside of very little to no $$ for electricity as the PG&E rates for the levels 0 and 1 (usually late night) are unlikely to change very much in the next 10 years.
