A friend in central New Jersey has a new Tesla Model Y:
I just calculated my effective $/kWh rate on my first month of the EV charging plan. Regular rate is ~$0.24/kWh. After 9pm, I get charged $0.04/kWh. Last month of charging has cost me $10.
My response:
The peasant renter pays 24 cents for electricity at night. The elite homeowner with the new Tesla pays 4 cents, It’s a great country.

Formula 1 race cars have been hybrids since 2009, and all electric Formula E started in 2014. Vroom!
