If I’ll be getting 850 miles of range, then that’s filling up the gas tank once every 2 months.
So gas at $4.05 (average) x 17.2 =about $70 every 2 months so $45 a month
So total monthly cost to fill the car up with gas and electric is $81 + $45 = $126.
With my current sonata hybrid, I fill up the tank twice a month. Each time costing about $40-$45 so that’s $80-$90 a month.
Isn’t sticking to my car cheaper
Also, since my off-peak hours is about 8 hours, I would have to drive strictly in hybrid mode so I’ll have enough battery left to make it so that it doesn’t have to take as long to charge and get be back to full battery within 8 hours. So Idk how that changes things.
So what’s to stop you from buying a bunch of Ecoflow Delta Pro’s, charging them overnight every night on the grid (or doing the ‘new’ reverse-supply option some cars are now offering) and have an all you can eat electric bill of $31?
Yes, most likely. Which isn’t surprising. The wrangler isn’t an efficient vehicle. The 4xe can be very efficient for a wrangler, but it’s still a wrangler.
Dang, something good from FPL??? Crazy! I’m with Withlacoochie which is a co-op. They don’t do a lot of rebates or programs but I do pay under 9 cents a kwh.
$38/mo includes them installing a 240v outlet for you
$31/mo if you have your own
Unlimited off-peak charging. Includes a juicebox EVSE
If you cancel within the first 10 years, it’s a $750 cancellation fee and they take the juicebox back. After 10 years, no cancellation and you keep the juicebox.
The funny thing is, for some people, it’ll cost WAY more than $750 to install the 240v outlet. It’d be worth signing up, having it installed, and paying the cancellation fee.
What I haven’t figured out is if it locks in the the monthly price for 10 years as well, or if that’s adjustable. With inflation, locking in $31/mo now and being price protected for 10 years sounds like a hell of a deal.
Just got reply from chapman saying that they have to mark up to recover some money to get under 5% invoice. I thought they were good to go.
Should I let it go?
Ordered in January before MSRP up. New msrp is $61,180.
That’s almost 2% marked up. Will save you at least $50 a month to get it down to buy rate. I would push them on that unless they specifically mentioned when you placed the order that you were agreeing to a marked up rate in exchange for the price.
If flipping within a couple weeks/months it won’t make that big of difference. If keeping to term fight them on the MF. Also if keeping, if you can do a 1 pay it will save you around $2,500.
