Austin. Fully loaded - all electrical costs and monthly surcharges - we're still paying <$80/m for our (detached) house and both cars. Obviously summer costs are way higher than winter costs here. (We have a high-efficiency HVAC system installed 2018, decent windows and various efficiency improvements, thank god.)

We bought our BEV in California and were on Schedule EV with PG&E, and it was always a delicate dance of "charging at the right time" to make things cheap. Here, our EVs just don't cost us much.

If I leave my home unattended for a month on vacation, but leave my fridge and water heater going, my gas and electric cost is about $70. California is a special place.

Used to live there! Don't any more, for good reason.
