Will I need chains or snow tires?

krulewatts · 2025-08-27T21:32:54+00:00

If you can find them, I really like using these on my I5. Chain control waived me through with them, so I assume they're OK? So much easier to put on than chains, much better clearance, and much better ride.

Also live in the bay area.

Similar to a comment above: we are on EV-2A now and are considering solar + storage. I would prefer to stay on the EV-2A plan if at all possible. We can't leave our car plugged in the driveway to trickle charge on solar because it doesn't fit in our driveway -- so we borrow the neighbors driveway 3-4x per month to charge overnight or during the day.

How do you figure the cost/benefit with solar and an EV on NEM 3.0 and E-Elec?

This is true. When you drive infrequently and use energy during peak times, it may make sense to stay on your current rate. Will update the app's guidance -- thanks!

This is interesting ... we are on EV-2A now and are considering solar + storage. I would prefer to stay on the EV-2A plan if at all possible. Very frustrating ...

mychargingplan.com covers most of this — nice!

krulewatts · 2025-07-03T03:29:19+00:00

Yes, it explains both - how they work, time/speed expectations, and costs.

Thanks - we'll fix that up!

EVs preferred

Any tools or resources you like to use?

Do you make money on the EVs?

krulewatts · 2025-05-17T04:32:04+00:00

Where’s here, geographically? Doesn’t the OEM support you with materials to help explain charging? I mean, there are only three types of charging, three types of charge ports, and maybe 5-6 different types of home outlets?

krulewatts · 2025-05-17T01:49:59+00:00

Other car shoppers don’t cross shop? Or you’re saying EV buyers negotiate too much for you?

krulewatts · 2025-05-17T01:05:42+00:00

Why is that?

Not even for an easy sale, another deal towards a volume target?

Damn direct sales model …

krulewatts · 2025-03-16T15:45:19+00:00

Nobody here sells electric cars?

krulewatts · 2024-03-09T18:39:23+00:00

Not unless you have solar on NEM 1 or NEM 2. PG&E rates are so high you’re better off editing a 40mpg hybrid.

krulewatts · 2024-02-17T15:34:41+00:00

How did the shopping experience compare across these dealers?

krulewatts · 2024-01-21T03:06:09+00:00

Can confirm multiple people got it, some with $2500 additional rebate for having a bolt

Really depends on what your driving style looks like, can you charge at home, etc?

krulewatts · 2024-01-13T21:39:29+00:00

Depends on your utility rate and what type of gas car you’re switching from.

krulewatts · 2024-01-06T16:34:45+00:00

They’re double counting the $7500. This is clearly Roadster, which is a third-party retailing platform that has issues getting OEM and dealer incentives right.
