At 2 cents per mile, I tend to average $10 per month in electricity used, my electric bill has gone up by $10 this month by using box fans in the windows at night on their low setting to draw cool air in to the house, if you switch your two most used lights in your house to more efficient lighting you can save $10 per month, or by putting your water heater on a timer you can save that much.
People heat their homes, cook their food, preserve their food, cool their homes, light their rooms all with electricity, spending an average of $100 per month, a good chunk of that being wasted and yet people throw fits about the idea of plugging a car in at night to charge.
