For an entire monthly billing period, I charged my Energi 4 times per week and most of the time I had about 15% battery remaining, which is why my Kill o Watt meter only showed approximately 100 Kwh of charging during the monthly period. Unfortunately my actual electricity bill consistently showed much higher usage of approximately 300 Kwh over the prior year. I am very interested in lowering my carbon footprint and don't mind spending a little more to drive EV over Hybrid but I am dumbfounded by the actual increase in Kwh per my electricity bill over my expected usage per my Kill o Watt meter. Therefore, has any new Energi owner looked at their electricity bill and see if their increased Kwh usage is consistent with their expectations?

I stopped charging my 2017 Energi (120V outlet) for most of my March to April monthly billing period and my Kwh usage dropped by more than 300 Kwh compared with prior month and with prior year. In the prior month I used only 100 Kwh but my electric bill increased by more than 300 Kwh compared with the prior year. I am really surprised that I am using 3x the amount of electricity charging my Energi than I expected so it seems it makes little economic sense for me to continue charging my Energi since it gets great average 48 MPG using only the hybrid engine. Has anyone else seen much higher Kwh usage from their electricity bill than expected with charging their Energi?

Thanks for your reply Murphy. I don't fully charge my battery every night since so using 100 Kwh during the month was reasonable. Also I measured my charges using the Kill O Watt meter for one entire month and each day the amount of Kwh shown in the meter per mile was consistent. Therefore it is a mystery why my electric bill shows much higher usage than what I should have spent charging my car. I am testing by driving only on Hybrid mode so see the impact on my next electric bill compared to the prior year. Is the increase in your electric bill (in Kwh) consistent with the expected usage to charge your car?

I recently purchased a 2017 Energi and my kill o watt meter measured only 96 Kwh for the month but my electric bill showed higher usage by over 300 Kwh per month ever since I purchased the Energi. Has anyone else experienced unexpectedly high electric usage in their electric bill?
