“’or even free nighttime charging’

Do you a link for more information on that?”

If you want to see actual prices you can put in a phony street address in Houston. The summary is that you pay a couple cents more per kWh for daytime electricity in exchange for free electricity between 9pm and 6am.

Here is the Reliant plan that gives you discounted (but not free) electricity from 8pm to 8am on weekdays and all day on weekends.

Thanks for that link. I appreciate the info.

So while you can get free night charges, you only get it by paying 28% more for the rest of your electric bill (as compared to their only other 18 month plan for the area).

This is going to be a balance between the significant cooling bill for this area and miles driven.

Some would get a cost savings. Many would have actually spend more this route.

I suspect most are not informed enough about their spending to get an accurate comparison of the cost choice.

Thanks again.
