We aren't on Veridian, we're on Hydro One...but regardless, the variable part that is indeed hard to narrow down is the delivery charge. It's not a flat rate. People who use very little electricity can often pay more in delivery than the actual amount of electricity they consumed - no shortage of stories of outrage on this topic.
But good luck narrowing it down since it seems to use some mystery algorithm that only they understand - I dare you to try looking at your bills, or mine (with dramatically higher usage vs non EV owners), and making sense of it.
Ours was $61 on a $170 bill this month (35%). On a $220 bill in February it was only $10 more, 32%. One of the lowest bills I could find, looking back through the MyAccount portal on Hydro One was $136 and the fee was still $51, or 37%.
Lastly, a portion of that delivery fee is fixed, so my argument stands - we are paying that regardless of owning an EV or not simply to provide power to our house.
I see your argument and I understand it, but you have to consider mine as well.
Either way, no matter how you look at it, I trust we all see that the savings are not insignificant. If we go your way and say $2.42, we still saved close to $10 in a single day vs a shitbox Prius.
Your Cruze, averaging around 7L/100KM (As per the overall average across fuelly.com) would have cost $18.20 in gas, we would have saved $15.78 that day.
And in the end... I have the satisfaction of knowing that I'm not sending my money to any sleazy oil conglomerations. You know, the ones we all like to ***** and complain about for mysteriously jacking prices every long weekend, rarely passing oil cost savings onto consumers, and sending prices shooting through the roof at the mere rumour of a refinery problem, even when it's just overblown.
