receipt_longHow your bill is built

  • STEG residential tariffs are NOT progressive (margin × tier). They are CLIFFED: a single threshold crossing recharges every kWh of the month at the new rate. Example: at 300 kWh your energy line is 300 × 218 mill = 65.40 TND. At 301 kWh it jumps to 301 × 341 mill = 102.64 TND. ONE extra kWh costs 37 TND, not 0.34. This is why EV owners must size their subscription and usage carefully.

  • Yes — adding ~200 kWh of EV charging pushes you to 490 kWh, crossing the 300 kWh cliff (341 mill/kWh) AND the VAT cliff (13 %). Your bill jumps from ~52 TND to ~190 TND. The marginal cost of the EV alone is ~138 TND — much more than the 200 × 0.218 = 43.6 TND a progressive system would charge.
