Notes/Assumptions 

  • Nissan Leaf achieves 100 miles per full charge (24 kWh) source
  • Results based on driving 400 miles/week, every week. (70 miles per weekday, 25 on Saturday and Sunday. source
  • Combined Advantage rates include a demand charge. The yearly cost range reflects zero impact on demand to a 6.6 kW demand increase.
  • The ET-EV rate will be available until December 31, 2014. This rate that may be discontinued after the research period is complete.
Now consider what you probably spend each year on gasoline – if your car gets 25 miles per gallon, at $3 per gallon, this same amount of driving costs you $2,500 each year. Taking advantage of APS off-peak rates for electricity could save thousands of dollars a year on fuel costs.
