Even our modest PV installation can generate more than enough power on long sunny summer days to charge up my Fisker.

And that's not all. Under my EV-friendly rate, the electricity we generate during the day gets sold to PG&E for up to $0.50/KWH (or offsets electricity we would have to buy at that price) and I get to buy it back at night for $0.19/KWH. No wonder they keep trying to limit or kill these programs.

Summer is awesome.

Awesome! We hope to follow in your footsteps soon.

No such luck here. On the other hand, the base price is half your "cheap" price.

I was back-of-envelope calculating in my head the other day at gym, and I think my small rooftop system will generate about as many kWh as I will use to go as many miles as I have averaged with the current car.

The Karma may get driven more locally but probably a little less overall since many of my miles are done driving a long way to some camp site, and the Karma is not very good for car-camping. But only time will tell, really, especially if I do some long road trips in the Karma (which, based on December test drive, will be a lot more pleasant for long trips).

These are the maximum rates (3x Base Load and higher). The base load rate is much lower but we generally blast through the tiers pretty quickly so I don't even think about getting the $0.07 /KWH rates.
