Enviromental Charge 7.74%..... 10.48
School tax............................. 4.38
Total due............................ 150.31 .
The cost for electricity in my EV is negative, as my local electric utility gives a discount to each EV, based on vehicle weight.

Alameda Municipal Power - Supplemental Schedule EV-X Experimental Electric Vehicle Charging Discount

Average daily use for the entire house is about 8kWh, which includes charging the electric car.

ELECTRIC BILL (last month)

227 kWh............................ 23.35
Taxes & Surcharges...............2.86
Electric Vehicle Discount........-9.00
Total due............................17.21
