How much would PG&E charge for electricity used?

I live in Connecticut. When I started charging my electric car, my monthly bill went from $68 to $127, about 320KWh to 729KWh. Electricity is very expensive in CT. It costs about 1/2 as much as gasoline. The national average is about 1/3. I drive about 1500 miles per month.

Hello,I have been very happy with the Leviton EVB40-5PT Level 2 40-Amp. It has made recharging my EV cars a non-issue, i.e. it is a must have for charging my 2012 Leaf and my 2013 Fusion plug-in. Both cars are driving daily (i.e. about 60 miles for the Leaf and the Fusion plug-in) and compared to my 2012 electric bills it's about a $55 to $65 increase per month via BG&E.; I should mention I do get to charge my Leaf at work after a 30 miles commute. I recommend the Level 2 Leviton EV home charger.

You need to check your electric bill. I pay 11 cents per 1KWH. My Nissan Leaf has a 24KWH battery. So 24,000 times 11 cents. So $2.64 cents to fill up my Leaf from zero % to 100%But I've never gone lower than 22% yet. The Leaf costs me around 2.3 to 2.8 cents per mile. In 3000 miles I've spent around $85 in electricity. It all depends how you drive. If you drive 80mph then it will cost you more. If you drive 37mph then you'll get 130 miles range in the Leaf. Any other Questions?

That depends on your current electric rates. Right now I'm driving close to 40 miles a day and my electric bill had increased by approximately 45 dollars a month. The equivalent gas would cost between 200 and 300 a month

They'll charge exactly what you use. It's just like running your air conditioner. If you run it for 2 hours they charge you for 2 hours. Electricity is electricity. They are not going to charge you more because you own an electric car.

Would depend on type of current heating, if central electric could be a small saving as will keep area warm enough to keep central off. I moved to a rural area where electricity doubbled and gas is cheaper and electric raised my cost even with it reducing the amount of gas operation. Do not believe the usage claims are accurate unless you are in a low cost electricy area.

I operated my Comfort all last winter as a primary heat source and it hardly showed up on my electric bill. It only uses 1500 watts tops, but is so efficient in circulating the heated air, It cycles only about hafl time. My furnace uses propane gas at $4.00 a gallon. I run the electric 24 hrs a day, for at least 50 percent savings over-all.

Looks like it uses 1,500 Watts on High and 750 Watts on low. Depending on your temperature setting, how cold it is in the room for use and how high you have it turned on, this will change the amount of energy used. Let's say 10 hours per day turned on low at 750 watts = 7,500 watts total per day which is equivalent to 7.5kwh per day. 7.5kwh x 30 days = 225kwh per month. In Southern California we might estimate a cost of $0.20/kwh. So, 225kwh x $0.20 = $45/month cost to run the heater on low for 10 hours a day. One reviewer, J.D., wrote that his electric bill went up $100 in one month of using it so he probably had it on low all day long non-stop, or had it on high for extended periods of time.

It depends on the cost of electricity per kilowatt-hour (kw-hr) from your power company. A kw-hr is 1000 watts of electrical load for 1 hour. So, for each hour of operation, that heater uses 1.5 kw-hrs. Multiply that by the cost of the electricity per kw-hr and you'll know how much that heater costs to run each hour. Then multiply that by the number of hours it's operating in a month and you'll know the impact on your monthly bill. For example, if electricity costs 10 cents per kw-hr, the heater costs 15 cents an hour to operate. That's $3.60 per 24 hour day, $25.20 per 7 day week, and $108 for a 30-day month.

This could run constantly if the pond is below 40 F. In that case, cost is $3-5 per day, depending on cost of electricity. This could add $50-150 per month as it gets colder.Example: 1500 watt x 24 hour = 36 kw-hrif electric costs 0.15 $/kw-hr = $5.40 per dayIt typically turns on at 45 F and off at 60 F.

That is possible if you run it 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It uses a vast amount of electricity. I use mine from Friday to Sunday every weekend and my electric bill went up $200.

Not sure... My friend who is an electrician help install it. He figure out it would cost me about .75 cents an hour to run it up here in Juneau Alaska ..... Think we are up to something like .12 cents a kilowatt hour. Hope that helps you.

I am not sure of the "exact" cost, but the short answer is not much. it is rated for 90 watts. That is like the energy used by one standard light bulb. I have mine in concrete for a dog house. It keeps the dogs warm and I cant tell by my electric bill if it is on or not.

Yes, as long as an electrician installs the heater. Bear in mind that it uses 1500 watts. At $0.15 a kilowatt, this will be $101 per month. Finally, remember it only heats the surface three-four feet away from the heater, or about 25 square feet.

This unit will use a 1.5 kilowatts per hour. So based on usage and your local electricity rates you will see what you average cost will be.

Noticed a nominal increase in electricity cost. Say 50 dollars running it about 12 hours a day five days a week

I have my PEET plugged into a Kill-A-Watt meter, with my rates, leaving my dryer plugged in for months, my daily cost is $.09, monthly cost is $2.80.

At 42 watts, it would consume 368 kWh of electricity per year if you ran it 24-7-365. My utility is fairly cheap by nationwide standards (still $0.08/kWh) so you'd be looking at $29 per year in electricity. On the other hand, if you lived someplace like New York City or Hawaii where power is $0.20/kWh or higher, you'd have a big power expense on your hands.

Nothing. Because we use it in our RV when connected to park electricity. I would guess, very very little in charges.

At .18/kWh, the Low is $3.50/month, the medium is $6.75/month, and the high is $15/month. A fair estimate on auto is about $4.50 per unit per month added to your electricity bill.

Depending on your local electricity rates probably somewhere around $1.25 to 1.50 per unit a day. However as I remarked in my evaluation of the units.....Don't buy it!!! They crack and the company will not do anything about it!!
