We don't get a weasel pee credit in Ohio. I'll bet there is a big industry for it in CO if you do. Lot's of jobs for weasel squeezers...
Unfortunately my electric utility doesn't have off-peak rates, but our town (the one where my company is) has it's own electric utility and power there is half what it is in the country where I live. I put a charging station at the office to take advantage of 2 cents/mile power.
I understand the 2016 model will have a remote charge port door closing feature. That plus a small bump in battery range (I get 42-43 typically). The new styling doesn't appeal to me, however.
