    Exactly 🤣. Make sure you get your electrify promo if you’re in Canada. Something like 1400 or 1600 kWh free charing over a few years.

    I don’t have a stage 2 charger yet…

      Signed up for that. We also had to get a lvl2 installed right away, the kids school is just too far away for daily lvl1. 14-50 outlet + whole home surge protector $1200 installed

      The average level 1 charger overnight is enough for the average driver, except on excursion days, then a fast charge will top you up enough.

        If you live in a cold environment a level 2 charger can be beneficial because the battery heaters that need to be on when charging don’t have to run as long

          You didn’t even do any math.

          1500 kWh x $0.20/kWh = $300

          1500 kWh x $0.15/kWh = $225

          1500 kWh x $0.10/kWh = $150

                Beats me they’re all kind of different. It’s like expecting household groceries to be the same as a restaraunt with the other math.

                  That is why you need the rate to know how much of a deal this is or is not. You can not make a claim of value without the value calculations.

                    Lol yes I can. If I don’t have a stage 2 and I need that power, I need it. They charge their rate, as all do.

                    The best point I can make is you’re telling me I’m getting ripped off because I’m away from home and starving and stop at McDonalds to get a burger which is 5$ but I could make that at home for 1$
