Check my math, please.

Is this right? Is this the experience of other users?

Where are you getting the 21 kWh figure? Do you park outside in cold weather?

If it's from the app, it will show a total that includes the energy used to condition the battery.

If you look at the charging session on the main screen in the vehicle it will break it down between total energy added to the battery and total energy used to condition the battery.

If it's cold your miles added will reflect the energy needed to heat the battery while charging and will deflate the mileage added number.

Are you really only paying an extra $0.0036 per kWh once you eclipse 1000 per month? I’m assuming you also use PGE, so please disregard if I’m wrong. One reason I couldn’t ever switch to TOU is because it says it’s an additional $0.36 per kWh over 1000, not just $0.0036. Like you, I oftentimes go over 1000 at least a few months per year - the worst I ever saw was 1715. That would mean an extra $257 on top of an already hefty bill just for using TOU (would probably be close to $500 for a single month!). But if you’re actually only paying $0.0036, that might be worth the gamble.

That is confusingly shown on their website. It is zero point three six ***CENTS**. $0.0036.

I would add that on the TOU plan that I have I actually get that 0.0036 as a credit up to 1000kWh.

Take your cost per kw, divide by 3 and multiply by 100 for the cost per gallon equivalent. .24/kWh is $8 gallon in gas.

However the rivian gets 75mpg. Our gx470 gets 15-20mpg but uses $5 per gallon gas at the moment

Yep, that's the same plan I'm on. High five, fellow PGE customer!

What? Not sure where you get your math from. .24 per kWh is $0.11 per mile. At $8 a gallon you would need to get to get over 70 mpg to be equal to the Rivian. At $4 a gallon it would be 37 mpg.
