Signed up for that. We also had to get a lvl2 installed right away, the kids school is just too far away for daily lvl1. 14-50 outlet + whole home surge protector $1200 installed
If you live in a cold environment a level 2 charger can be beneficial because the battery heaters that need to be on when charging don’t have to run as long
Hello fellow Buzz owner. I also bought a 2025 buzz new a couple of weeks ago. So far love having the EV kid hauler
Exactly 🤣. Make sure you get your electrify promo if you’re in Canada. Something like 1400 or 1600 kWh free charing over a few years.
I don’t have a stage 2 charger yet…

“1400 or 1600 kWh free charging” - that’s about $150.
Not quite.
If you math that, it’s actually $882
You didn’t even do any math.
1500 kWh x $0.20/kWh = $300
1500 kWh x $0.15/kWh = $225
1500 kWh x $0.10/kWh = $150
It says 50kWh cost me $31.50. I get 1400. 1400/50=28. 28*31.50=882.
Ah yes the system that gives you the promo says…
What is the rate?
Beats me they’re all kind of different. It’s like expecting household groceries to be the same as a restaraunt with the other math.
That is why you need the rate to know how much of a deal this is or is not. You can not make a claim of value without the value calculations.
The average level 1 charger overnight is enough for the average driver, except on excursion days, then a fast charge will top you up enough.

True, L2 charger is much cheaper than a heated garage.
