That is the case with nearly every EV driver and why people asking where we are going to get the extra electricity from is so frustrating, replacing the 3 most used incandescent bulbs in your house with CFL or LED's will lower the average persons electric bill even after home charging of an EV, our homes waste so much that finding ways to off set EV charging is cheap and easy.
