"1400 or 1600 kWh free charging" - that's about $150.

Not quite.

29011 29012

If you math that, it's actually $882

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

It says 50kWh cost me $31.50. I get 1400. 1400/50=28. 28*31.50=882.

Ah yes the system that gives you the promo says.....

What is the rate?

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$

More I am saying you can't put a $ value on a thing if you don't know what the thing sells for. If I buy something and it says I saved $12 instead of yelling me the price I can't say it costs $12.

I don't follow. You don't go to McDonalds and do a home cooked cheaper meal at McDonalds. You aren't charging at home. You're charging at a network that isn't yours. The price of your home electricity is irrelevant. The price is what they say per kWh at their facilities.

And if you don't know the rate on that network you can't put a value on the "free" Kws. Like if your went to McDonalds with a coupon for a free burger, but you can not find out how much a burger is you can't really put a dollar value on that coupon.

50kWh cost $31.50, so we do know the rate.... So the rate is $1.59 per kW.

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

True, L2 charger is much cheaper than a heated garage.
