So I guess it looks like anywhere between 10% to over 30% of your total electricity consumption is the car, and that percentage has a lot more to do with your other usage rather than the amount driven. That really isn't too crazy, then again I guess that would be 20-60% if you calculate two cars in the family.
Charging them off peak certainly helps. And it does sound like you really don't have a need to charge during the day unless you are driving a lot. (such as taxis, delivery cars etc)
The key to much of my charging habits is the range. With 300 mile range, there hasn’t been a need to charge during the day except if I wanted to get to 100% before taking a trip. (They suggest not letting the batteries sit at 100% for long periods). On road trips we will use the Super Chargers of course.
Once the Model Y is released, we are going to seriously look at trading in the

It is really funny to think I have only stopped at a gas station maybe twice in the last 18 months and that was only to grab some coffee etc.
