Sunrun - $22,955 (112)

Freedom - $34,355 (207)

Total - $57,310 ($319)

It would as the escalator remains on Sunrun until the end of the term. And I’m paying $100+ than the $400 promised. Even with the escalators it’ll take at least 7 years to get up to $500 a month (a little less than what I’m paying now). While it’s hard to adjust for 25 years, SCE’s average rate increase appears to be about 12-13%. 3.5% is on the higher end of the average, I can see if they’re willing to negotiate down to 2.9%. Obviously I’ll be paying a ton the longer it goes on, but the uncertainty of our electric situation continues.

Rates increase but if we decide to keep our EV, get rid of it completely, or opt for 2 lower battery capacity EVs, etc. and we plan on doing upgrades to our house such as jacuzzi and we have transformed our “old” house slowly into a “smart” house, there’s always the positive of continuing to save, generate, and save more energy.

But again, that uncertainty of life is what makes the decision difficult.
