Illustrative timeline — exact windows vary by season and rate schedule.

Is the TOU or EV plan worth it?

If you drive 700+ miles/month and can charge overnight or on weekends, Con Edison's time-varying rate often saves money — peak rates can run 3.8× off-peak. If most of your usage happens during peak hours (often late afternoon), TOU may cost more than a flat plan.

Example EV charging savings

Typical EV: 11,000 miles/year (3,143 kWh)

Scenario	Est. annual cost
Charge during peak ($0.45/kWh)	$1,414/yr
Charge off-peak ($0.12/kWh)	$377/yr
Estimated savings (off-peak vs peak)	$1,037/yr

Assumes 11,000 mi/yr, 3.5 mi/kWh, and 100% of EV charging at each rate tier. Real savings depend on your driving, charger, and schedule.
