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.

Good question...I hooked up my Watts UP and the unit when cooling uses right at a kilowatt (mnfg says 1.16 KW.) So in North Dakota that's probably under 10 cents an hour, but if you are top tier PG&E Customer in the Peoples Republic of California its more like 40+ cents an hour. The way I use it is to temporarily cool a home office for no more a few hours a day (afternoon) in summer, so I'd guess it is about $50.-75./yr for electricity for that (rates are between the extreme rates above(California Central Valley where we have nice cool evenings and dry hot days)). I don't usually use it for heating. It has a pretty powerful fan that is easy to direct where you want it so if it is too warm and you don't mind the fan air that makes it feel like its cooling quite a bit more than it is so you don't run the cooling as much...when the thermostat turns cooling off the fan uses 0.075 KW...less than a tenth of the cooling usage. I'd expect this is similar to what a Window air conditioner would cost to run with similar cooling effect but less flexibility in where to send the air. So in my application the electrical cost isn't a big deal compared to the purchase price + CA Sales Tax.

I left it plugged in all the time it was cold outside. In the summer I unplugged it. I never was able to estimate the electricity cost.

If the former is true than the latter will be much to close to impossible. If they both are true than that must mean that 3.6LPM/52GPH is the base rate but it can be adjusted to 68GPM/4,080GPH which like I said before sounds crazy unreal for the price and energy voltage...... listen I am going to get a measurement of the rate once I get it in the post.

It uses 1500 watts per hour. In my area electricity is about 14 cents/kilowatt. So, if you use if for three hours per day that would be 135 kilowatts per month and cost $18.90/month. I use it to help heat our finished basement (14ftx42ft) and it does a great job. It's not cost effective to have it on all day long, but if I know I'm going to be in the basement I'll set if for 3-4 hours. It'll take the temp from 65 degrees up to 69 in well under an hour (more like 30-40 minutes).

I think ours must run about $30 a month and we live in a high electricity cost area. Friction heating ts a lot cheaper than using a heating element.

WE're careful about how much we use it, but we live in SoCal with the highest electric rates in the continental US. You can do the arithmetic yourself. The heater runs at 750 (L) and 1500 (H) watts. Look at a recent electrical bill and see what the cost/kWhr is in your area. Let's say its $0.20/kWhr (typical for SoCal), then 1 hour of using the heater at high will run you $0.30 (1.5kW x $0.20/kWhr), and one month of this will run you 30 days x $0.30/day = $9.00/ month. If you live in the Pacific Northwest, like my in-laws, where electricity is cheap ($0.06/kWhr), then it will cost a lot less (only $2.70/month) for that 1 hour/day.

in my city the electric cost is 9.5 cents per kelo watt hour. the unit is 1500 watts on high. so to run it on high it would coust me 14.25 cents per hour. on energy saving mode the unit is 950 watts and it would cost me 10 cents per hour.

no just a power outlet and phone. $20 plus taxes equalling about $29. a month

The high setting on the heater is 1,500 watts which is equal to [1.5 kilowatts] - (kilo = 1000). Your electric company rate charge is based on "kilowatt hours usage" - the number of kilowatts of electric you use in one hour. What do you pay per kilowatt hour (usually around 9 - 12 cents per kilowatt hour is typical) - it should be listed on your bill? Multiply that "per Kilowatt hour rate charge" times 1.5 kilowatts (heater on high). Example: 1.5 X .10 = 15 cents "per hour."

We used it to replace a 7 year old pump. I would say the electric bill dropped about $10 per month.

Only way to determine that is to 1. Check power bills before and after use or 2. Look at power consumption 1500w and multiply by cost per 1000w (1kw) you pay for electricity. My unit is used to get one room (150sq ft) in my 1700 square ft house really warm and this saves me money.

I am running 3 of these in my apartment, one in an unfinished basement, one in bedroom and one in baby's room. My electric bill was around $150.00 - 180.00 before running them and now it is between $250.00 - $300.00 with 3 of these. so probably $30.00 to $40.00 per month per unit I am guessing. I live in Vermont so it is pretty cold right now so it may be lower depending on where you live. The basement unit runs quite a bit due to it being unfinished so it is using more energy.

You can use the following formula to calculate how much it will cost to operate a 1,500-watt space heater (or any other electric equipment):Watts x hours of use ÷ 1,000 x cost per kilowatt-hour = cost of operationThis means that if a 1,500-watt heater ran 24-hours at a rate of 7.57 cents a kilowatt-hour, the cost would be $2.73 a day (1,500 x 24 ÷ 1,000 x $0.0757). For a month that would amount to $81.76 added to the electric bill of the average customer. source: conservingelectricity.com

Thanks very much for the response. After entering my question, I figured out how to fake it myself with what I've got. I just put the cost of electricity at 1.00 per kWh. So now after any amount of time, instead of it telling me how much money I've used each month/year, etc... I just read how many kWh I've used each time period. Sometimes you have to be smarter than the $20 device, but it isn't always easy. :)

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.
