We power our car over 20K EV miles in 2016.
The last 2 years we received a check from the power company at the zero out date March 1. This year’s check was for $58.78 we even heated our 550 gallon fish tank in our aquaponics greenhouse with solar power.
Here is our power bill for the last couple years. (You cannot off set the meter fee).
We are thankful for this every day.

I knew you charged your cars but didn't know how much that added up to on kwh. It seems like it takes quite quite a bit of kwh for charging the cars. If that were us that would be say 1300kwh of your usage just for vehicles. If you didn't have solar panels the electric cars would be quite expensive to drive. 1300kwh would be about $165 here which would buy allot more gas than we use in a month and we live in tx and everything is a long drive.
Last month we were running running the ac as it was in the mid 90s for a while but we had the furnace on last night and maybe tonight though it may not come on till early morning. We have never run the furnace after mid march. Cool spring here overall.
Oh I will be near your neck of the woods saturday. Headed to GSP tomorrow night and we are going to look are areas and houses there. Mainly between there and Charlotte.
