If you are considering purchasing a new car and are looking at an electric vehicle (EV) as a serious option, it is important to understand how an EV can lead to different sources of spending and saving when compared to conventional gas engines. The decision is getting easier to make every year. Between operational cost savings and the fact you can install a personal, at-home charging station, owning an EV means no more trips to the mechanic or gas station. Government rebates on the purchase of a new EV can help sweeten the deal. Energy Wise MN has some great resources on EVs.
Rates
TWEC has two different rates available to members. Our storage rate is a very low cost per kWh, but charging can only take place in a limited window. While our time-of-use rate allows charging at any time, certain times of day are more expensive than others. See the charts below.
