I got blasted with a $700 electric bill this month, and we didn’t really do anything new or different. So this doesn’t surprise me really.
If electricity is going to cost this much, I guess the only way electric gets “cheaper” than gas is by hiking gas prices until its cheaper to charge. Consumers are never going to win though.
Why was your bill $700 though?
Is that all new charges for the previous month, is there an unpaid amount from last months bill? If you owed $650 on the last bill and didn’t pay it while the new month generated $50 in new charges then yeah your bill will be for $700. Just as an example.
Just saying a number doesn’t mean anything. How did you manage to get charged $700.00 for your electric last month?
Edit: dude posted his bill below. His charge for one month is $350
Jesus, what’s your utilization or price per kWh? I use a shitload of electricity (around 2000kWh per month and my utility provider says average is more like 800) and my bill has never exceeded $300, even with an EV that I drive 1200 miles a month
For reasons I’m not sure about, I posted a screenshot of my bill below in answer to the quack telling me I don’t know what my bill was.
We live in the upper, larger portion of the house and there is a suite downstairs. I’m not sure what they get up to, but the cost is high. We have led lights, central ac which we only use conservatively. Other power sucks would be the extra fridge in garage I guess, so the household (with the suite) runs 3 fridges, 2 sets of laundry machines and 2 dishwashers. Our range is gas.
I have no idea how the bill is so high. I can only imagine how much higher it would be if I charged a vehicle on top - though I do understand that would eliminate the $120/week I spend on gasoline
I’m sorry but I simply do not believe your new charges were $700, especially if you “didn’t do anything different”. Did you host a rock festival in your backyard or something? Did you plug in a 12 foot pile of air conditioners on high the entire month on your driveway?
What state are you in and how many electric heaters are you using this summer?

No unpaid balance, just new charges. That was the cost of electricity for the last billing cycle.

He just posted a picture of his bill in a reply to me if you want to take a look at it.
