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.

$0.058 / kWh at home for me.

About $0.115 at my friend's house.

About $0.25 at some public chargers.

Those are amazing prices.

In Germany I pay:

-0.33$ at home and work

-0.72$ - 0.88$ on public chargers

Gas is currently about 7.68$ per gallon. ._.

Right?!? Wildly jealous of those low electricity prices. I'm also in the EU and paying 46.6c (euro) / around 50c US at home.

Yeah, the quoted $40 fillup is in Hawaii where everything is expensive.

19 cents/kwh at home, and that includes all fees and taxes. The most expensive charge I did was at a Petro Canada, which was 53 cents a minute. I was just topping up so the 20 minutes I was there came to a whopping 91 cents/kwh. There's a lot of free fast chargers where I am too.

I appreciate the plain English for the mixed bag it is for apartment dwellers.

Can we have electricity? No, we have electricity at home!

This summer, at Electrify America in Erie PA, I recently paid $0.35 / kWh. And at Electrify Canada in Hamilton ON, I paid $0.57 CAD / min, which is $0.23 CAD / kWh at 150 kW.

This is roughly on par with the cost of gasoline, per mile. I assume the margins are pretty thick for Electrify, because household electricity costs less than a third of that.

For example, say it costs $0.35 / kWh. At 3.5 miles / kWh, that's $0.10 / mile.

For comparison, say gas costs $3.50 / gallon. At 30 miles / gallon, that's $0.12 / mile.
