Can my H2O heater (30a), well pump (20a), waste pump (20a) and 2 A/C units (40a) all run at the same time when I am also charging an EV (50a)?

“EV’s can be easily charged at home and will be”

Have a look below at California electricity rates. And the state assy have removed incentives to install Solar unless you shell out another 13k or more for battery storage and that is just for one wall of batteries. Most homes from my research will have the recommendation of two walls of battery packs.

The real savings for solar is buying the equipment not leasing. So a typical 2000 sq. ft home installation in my neck of the woods with two walls of batteries will be nearing 45 - 50k. No thanks. A non plug in hybrid is in my future.

As of August 2023, Southern California Edison (SCE) has three residential TOU rate plans in which electricity rates range from 23 cents per kWh during super off-peak windows in the winter to 74 cents per kWh during on-peak windows in the summer.Aug 24, 2023

A car that makes sense mostly during off peak winter days makes no sense. And Edison rates are only going up.
