Proposed usage changes can be added to the project to reflect anticipated post-project changes to usage needs, like the special addition of an electric vehicle (EV) or pool. Proposed usage additions can also be added as an annual percentage increase (%) or kWh addition.

Use the "Add Proposed Usage by" drop-down to specify how you would like to include usage changes (Special Additions, Percent Increase, kWh Addition).

If you add a usage change, click Apply to save the selection. Any proposed usage additions that are added will appear in the annual usage and daily usage charts.

Assumptions for Special Additions

For special addition usage changes, Electric Vehicles and Pool additions are modeled using the following assumptions:

Pools: based on a single speed pump running 24/7.

Electric Vehicles: based on evening charging for 1.6 hours. Calculation modeled on a Chevy Bolt using a Level 2 charger.

How do I add proposed usage changes, like an EV or a pool?
