Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to charge an EV at home?
At the US average electricity rate of $0.14/kWh, charging a 75 kWh battery from 20% to 90% costs about $8.17. This provides roughly 245 miles of range. Charging costs vary significantly by location and time of use.
Is it cheaper to charge at home or at a public station?
Home charging is almost always cheaper. Home rates average $0.14/kWh while public Level 2 chargers cost $0.20-0.40/kWh and DC fast chargers cost $0.30-0.60/kWh. Some public chargers offer free charging.
Why should I not charge to 100%?
Most EV manufacturers recommend charging to 80-90% for daily use. Charging above 80% is slower and regularly charging to 100% can accelerate battery degradation. Reserve 100% charges for long trips only.
