Surveys suggest EV owners tend to charge their vehicles at home between midnight and 7am when electricity usage triples. What time do you charge your NEV?

I charge my car after each trip… usually am in before dark… evening charge… although I didn’t drive it yesterday or today… re-plugged it this afternoon

I had no power bill increase with the GEM… bought a meter and I have never used more than 25 cents of electricity… can’t speak to a Volt but have a friend in California who has one and charges it at home via 110v I think he only said it took about 8 hours to charge… my GEM charges in 4-6 hours…
