Cost Considerations and Charging Efficiency
The cost of charging an EV can vary based on several factors, including the type of charger, location, and electricity rates. On average, charging at home with a Level 2 charger costs between $0.10 to $0.20 per kWh, which translates to approximately $3 to $7 for a full charge, depending on the vehicle's battery capacity1.
Public charging stations often have different pricing models, such as pay-per-use or subscription plans. Some networks, like Tesla's Supercharger, offer competitive rates and even free charging for certain models2. Monitoring your charging habits and exploring various charging networks can lead to substantial savings.
