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, Georgia Power's time-varying rate often saves money — peak rates can run 13.8× off-peak. If most of your usage happens during peak hours (often late afternoon), TOU may cost more than a flat plan.
