The median household income is the USA is around $68k. A good rule of thumb for everything with an engine/motor in it is no more than 50% of the household income, or $34k. That can be done with EVs but we are talking used Nissan Leafs at that point. That takes out anyone buying a new pickup too. Neal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have tiered rates based on useage. More you use the more expensive it gets. . 3 tiers. 800 all in is 11, 800 to 2000 all in at around 14, 2000 and above it would hit 16 ish. Closer to $3k then 2k. Didn’t super accurate around 2700-2800. also 1 think if I had a south facing solar array my array would have been less. Could have went 25-30 percent smaller in size and cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
