Okay, so today we received our first full-month electric bill since purchasing our i-MiEV. Annnnnnnnd, the difference in electric usage and expense from NOT owning an EV to OWNING and EV isssssssssss... drum roll please......
No change whatsoever! No, seriously, I mean that. No change whatsoever! And I don't mean that facetiously or as in the change in usage was so insignificant it's not even worth calling it a change in usage. My current bill is EXACTLY the same as the previous month... TO THE PENNY... TO THE KWH!!!
My service bill from 06/13/2013 to 07/16/2013 was $127.32 with 1,357 kWh of usage.
My service bill from 07/16/2013 to 08/14/2013 was $127.32 with 1,357 kWh of usage.
And, no, one of these was not an estimate. Each bill shows that the beginning and ending meter readings were actual meter readings, not estimates.
What are the chances of two consecutive electric bills being exactly the same down to the penny and the kWh usage??? Of course, the August bill is for a service period four days shorter than the July bill. So, if all things WERE equal, I would expect there to be a slight increase in usage from one month to the next. But even so, it's nowhere near the $30 or so increase I was expecting. Go figure!
