Few people know what a kilowatt-hour costs them, so they don’t realize how cheap EV home charging is versus gasoline. On the road, it's more complicated.
How Much Does It Cost to Charge an Electric Vehicle? (A comparison at home and on the road, with gasoline)::Few people know what a kilowatt-hour costs them, so they don’t realize how cheap EV home charging is versus gasoline. On the road, it's more complicated.
All along I-5 between Portland and Seattle at Electrify America charging stations. I just checked, it's still $0.48/kWh. We drove a rental Volkswagen ID.4 and our Prius on that trip. It cost about $40 for Prius fuel and nearly $200 for the ID.4.
That’s insanely cheap. We pay $0.11 off peak and $0.33 on peak (4p-8p). At $0.33 for my PHEV it’s no cheaper than gas at $3.99/gal. Guess when it’s scheduled to charge only?
