I talked with a lot of Dealers near me and not of them willing to do a good deal until i found one in San Antonio, TX we start dealing for a Adventure + but they sold it so then they only have a Engage one small battery but for the price was fine and we just gonna used for commute, so the numbers are
MSRP: $45,085
Discount: $4,486
Sale Price: $40,599
They told they can’t give Sale Tax Credit if I get the Rebates so, since the price was lower than a $100 i didn’t want to push to much, hopefully i did well because is my first lease, and first time negotiated a lease.
I need advise in charging an EV went your out of home because if the prices that i see it are normal there no different between Gas vs EV only the payment but if any one know how to do it the right way i appreciated
It will be a bit tedious (and perhaps there’s a better way), but you can go to Google Maps and search EV charging stations, and get a quick idea of the prevailing providers in your area (I see more than one of each from ChargePoint, Shell Recharge and Blink near where I am right now).
You can then see what each charges in your market by looking at their respective web sites.
PlugShare will show you the free ones, but IME they’re sparse and when you find one, they’re very slow.
Acter doing days of research i literally gave up on any idea of getting an EV, i searched out entire maps in my area and found out that most are level 2 and that the DC charging stations are extremely limited or are offline or having some type of connectivity problems, the infrastructure in my opinion is still weak and falling behind, i dont know what percentage of EV owners charge on level 2 vs DC, but after spending time looking into it, most people i speak to are staying very very far away from EV cars, most are going hybrid at the moment instead
You need to see how much you’re paying per kWh. Like gas prices, every station sets and charges their own rates. $0.85/kwh is a total
Ripoff and they obviously don’t want you charging there. Peak pricing at most public stations are half that rate, if not slightly more.
You need to download PlugShare and pay attention to how much each provider (EA, Chargepoint, Tesla, etc.) charges.
Electricity with our provider in Columbus (OH) is only ~$0.07 a kWh, so we are charging the EV we have here in the garage when we aren’t using it… for right now in a 110V outlet.
We both wfh and the vehicle has ~300 miles of range, so it doesn’t matter if it takes 6 or 8 or 12 or 16 hours to top it off.
