Green is good, But I will stick with my 500 miles to 11 gal, $27000 car rather that spend 45k for a vehicle 3yr old that can go 100 mi per charge for the prestige of full EV for

Sounds like a real car collector or a lottery winner could buy it and turn it into a trailer honey and keep it in #1 condition Museum quality for car shows..
charging at midnight. From midnight to 7am PG&E offers a reduced rate for EV owners. You can get the reduced rate by applying to PG&E, or whichever California utility you use. They will replace your meter with a Time of Use meter, which allows different rates to be in effect at different times of day. The discounted (E9) rate is then applied at night based on your actual usage, both to charge the EV and for any other nighttime use of power. I have calculated that my cost of electricity to charge the RAV4 EV is about half the cost of buying gasoline for a regular RAV4, perhaps a little less.
No offence but why would someone want to do this?
Many parking lots have EV ONLY spaces that are reserved for electric cars. These spaces are equipped with chargers that are free to use. There are some parking garages in California that allow you to park for free, only requiring that you first apply for a special parking permit.
There is also a network of EV owners who are willing to offer use of their home chargers to other EV owners in an emergency.
You can join that group and get the list of chargers at the evchargernews web site listed below.
Again why would someone want the trouble of taking a trip and having to do this? Hey buddy can I use your plug?
Now the real question is if its such a great EV car why are you selling it?
P.S. Not trying to stir the pot, but why own one.
I do wish you Good luck on the sale of your leased vehicle ..
