The model I’m looking at is ~45 miles (70km) of EV-only range. Electricity where I am drops under 10c/kWh overnight, and the model I’m looking at is a PHEV.

I work from home and only rarely do I have to commute to a job site, 90% of my driving right now is around town and much less than 45 miles total per day. Having the EV charging start when rates drop and stop when they rise again, would be something I would be doing. Since I don’t have to drive every day for work, several nights of fairly slow charging would fill the ~ 17 kWh battery, even at 10A on 120V.

So every time I go out, I’d likely be starting with a to full charge, and my first 45 ish miles are basically free.
