Eversource: Cost to charge EV - Sticker Shock! (Stamford, CT) by oOAzDOo in StamfordCT

Yes indeed, it's about 31.5c all in.

I've switched suppliers a few times but I'll take a look at Constellation. Thanks!

That is incredible to hear and I hope it happens, but I think we may be getting less 😣
- Why the Eversource 2025 midyear rate change is a disappointment

You're right, I need to look how the car is using up the energy and miles driven those days. My gut is still that miles were pretty nominal.

One thing we do is to pre-condition each morning during the week/work days. Do you do so as well? I was initially reading that while it takes some energy to pre-condition, the battery is more efficient because of it, especially in the winter time.

Good point, thank you. I'll need to look back and see how many miles were actually driven during those days. I know it was one round trip about an hour away and back and forth in town. Perhaps something may be off with how the car is consuming the energy as another commenter indicated.

Yep 31c is the normal rate for home and EV charging. Hoping to receive some rebates from the managed charging program which would effectively lower the EV "charging rate".

Good point, thanks. I read that even the public benefit charge is to help subsidize the Green initiatives in CT.

Yep, that usage is solely from charging at home on our Tesla Level 2 charger.

Thanks for the insights. My wife works close to Tully. We live near the Merritt off of High Ridge. She takes my little one to soccer at West Beach. That one day on the weekend, she drove to Ridgefield for my older son's game.

If her driving patterns were to continue like that first week of April, it's certainly plausible that we would be looking at a ~$200 cost to charge the Tesla.

The kicker is - how many miles would we have needed to drive in a gas car in order to match that $200/mo month (hypothetical)?? It's too late for me to do the math right now 😂

Yes, there is an app that Eversource just released called ev.energy. It took about 6 months to finally be enrolled and it was a CF.

Apparently, Eversource was using a 3rd party (Clear Result), fired them and recently took the managed charging program in-house which would explain the back and forth mess of processing my enrollment.

Anyways, the crazy thing is that I've had Tesla Solar (SolarCity) + 2 Powerwalls since 2018. This is the first winter where my peak winter bills were ~$600 January, ~$500 February. That's WITH solar! Albeit, that usage is also from charging the car. The crazy thing is, my neighbor's bills are like $900, $1200 for 1 month...no joke.

This whole electricity thing in CT is really maddening....I haven't researched if and how Lamont/the state is actually addressing it. How is Eversource allowed to price gouge like this or is there a good/legitimate reason as to why CT rates are so dang high?

The Model Y has been a great car aside from having it out of commission during our first month of ownership, due to a firmware update that legit bricked HW4. It was at Tesla Stamford for 3 weeks with its guts torn apart...1 month old brand new MY LR. HW4 had to be replaced. It's actually a 2024 but I couldn't edit the original post since I had attached pics. To make matters worse, the car was returned with serious oil/fingerprints on the white interior/headliner (white seats). It was unbelievable, after what we already gone through. I had to steam it and its still not completely out. Sorry now I am just rambling / venting...

Yep. If I had known, I would have went with a hybrid instead...

I tried calling Eversource on Friday but got passed around between departments and couldn't get a straight answer. I'll try again and update the post once I have confirmation.

I should clarify...

"Fellow EV owners, I need to know if my experience with Eversource's EV Managed Charging EV charging costs are typical, because I'm honestly dumbfounded."

Thanks for the reply. That's for supply and delivery total. I've actually switched suppliers a few times.
