Question 1

Is Schedule 1 or Schedule 1G cheaper?

Accepted Answer

For a typical Virginia home using 1,051 kWh a month, Schedule 1 is cheaper by about $14 a year ($189 against $190 a month). Schedule 1G is cheaper below about 800 kWh a month and Schedule 1 above it, with the same daily pattern of use. Adding an EV driven 1,000 miles a month and charged at each plan’s cheapest hour, Schedule 1G gives the lower total ($229 against $234 a month).
