    I’m looking at my Tesla app right now in the charging section and I average about 15 dollars a month of electricity, at 14c a kw/h.

    So somewhere around 0.50 cents a day in added cost. This landlord is just being fussy and fearful of the “new”.

    Like people back in the day thinking light switches could shock you dead for flipping them.

    *I looked it up for the area specifically and their electricity is up to 40 cents equivalent dollars a kilowatt hour, so it could be up to 3.50 or so bucks a day if it’s charging non stop. Electricity is expensive over there and I stand corrected.

      This is a UK sub, and unfortunately our electricity is not that cheap at the moment. A current quote from Octopus energy:
