I boycotted AV because of their "all you can abuse" pricing structure. I prefer a bill by the minute policy. So you can consider the electrons running in at 60-70 seconds/kwh under 50% SOC verses the 150-200 seconds/kwh over 80% SOC...DaveinOlyWAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745403231379474738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022888953328060401.post-55639318313728247372015-12-24T14:52:36.202-08:002015-12-24T14:52:36.202-08:00Good point: "speed is essential because its u...Good point: "speed is essential because its unplanned". <br />This is profoundly true. Time is money. Therefore, the bill for fast charging should be a LOT higher than standard trickle charging. Can I get an "Amen"?

The faster route may add 6 miles to my journey. I look at LEAFSpy Pro to estimate my range and compare that to the new route. Sometimes the new route means I would have to stop on the way home. So I get Waze to calculate the times for other routes. Often the saving in time is 2-3 minutes, not a big enough saving to warrant the 6 mile detour and rapid charge stop. <br /><br />If the time saving is over 10 minutes I take the new route.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15154777514344905967noreply@blogger.com
