    You guys think that this whole free charging stuff will end in the near future as EVs become more mainstream?
    Soon there will be meters that will charge to your credit card or something similar to paying for parking, no?
    That exists now. you have to pay for charging at Chinook.

    I'm going to borrow @benyl 's Model 3P and take you for a rip when you get back haha.
    I love V8s, but I love horsepower more. Find me better bang for the buck where DA on a hot day doesn't matter or where you don't have to "warm up" the car. The M3P has near 500hp for less than $80K. In the US, you can even get that horsepower for less if you don't want the brakes, wheels and suspension and spoiler.

    I bought the car, not because I want to save the environment. I bought it cause it fucking fast and I'm cheap. hahahaha

    I can't even figure out what my actual kWh rate is with all the fucking riders here lol. But yea, my new office has free charging at work too, but my fuel costs are so low because hybrid that it's not enough to push me over the edge and ignore the downsides that bother me.
    I want to know when I'm getting these riders back...

    So im still getting nailed for the day to day stuff... 2013 flood repairs... This summer it jumped another 30ish$ because the 6 year old lines replaced in the flood now need to he replaced again because people keep upgrading their house service to have charge stations. So fortis ripped it all out and replaced them with higher capacity...

    FML! Make the tesla owners pay not the whole section of town ffs!

    I've been tracking for a few years and incorporating all the fees & riders, the actual rate is very close to $0.18/kWh.
    It can be as high as $0.23 and as low as $0.14 but that's rare.
    18¢ is a solid estimate averaged over 3 years in a variety of consumption levels.

    That's roughly what mine is as well. It gets cheaper the more you use because of the fixed fees. This is on Atco's 3 cent deal which definitely helped me in the months I use a ton of power. (Lots of 3d printers plus electric baseboard heaters for the workshop)

    A few months of note:
    68.39$ @ 405 kwh (16.9 c / kwh) - last month
    116.33$ @ 822kwh (14.2 c / kwh) - jan 2019
    142.58$ @ 1112 kwh (12.8 c / kwh) - mar 2019

    Jesus, I'm glad I ran the cable for 50 amps in my garage before I drywalled. Grab a permit and do it yourself, it's very hard to screw up a single circuit install.

    Not terribly surprising if it's an attached garage in a fully finished house. Running the cable can be pretty cheap but redoing the finishing work can really drive up the price if you're paying someone to do it. Agreed that if you have access, running the cable yourself is pretty straightforward. 60A service + a garage subpanel is pretty easy to accomplish.

    Quote was to run the wire outside of the walls in a garage with a subpanel.

    Sounds like “I don’t want to do this job” pricing.

    So I just did a 14-50 in my garage. Breaker = $70, 7m of 6/3 cable = $91, misc boxes, staples, connectors = $30. Permit $120. Total: ~$200.

    6/3 cable is a pain in the ass hard to work with.
