Where I live in Northern California it has gone from 13 cents per kwh in 2014 to current 34.5 cents per kwk for off peak rate at my home. Peak rate is almost 66 cents in the summer and 53 cents in winter. To charge my model S the cost is about 10 cents per mile. A model 3 would be about 9 cents per mile. Several hybrids get 50+ mpg. At current gas price here of $4.49 per gallon the cost for gas would be about 9 cents per mile.

I think one of the most informant videos I've seen, thanks

Driving back from Florida it was truly cheap to charge car $6, but when you pay to park in the spot to charge$32. Well that sucked.if I would had waited till it was fully charged $58. So I left half charged

It's also important to know that EVs go approximately 3.5 miles per kWh.
For 1, 000 miles, you'll use approximately 285 kWh.
At 20¢ per kWh, that's $57 per 1, 000 miles.

In a gas car, 1, 000 miles at 25 mpg uses 40 gallons. At $3 per gallon, that's $120.

Very well done with good information, thanks!

I live near Berkeley, CA and use Pacific Gas and Electric (PGE) my tier 1 rate is $.42 and tier 2 $.52 per kilowatt. Another reason to stay away from CA. But, my local 6kW charging station charges $.20 per kilowatt.

Why would stupid Rivian put a fancy charge port on the bumper of a car where most accidents happen?

[frederickwoof]

In Uk, its roughly 29 pence per kwh, plus a daily standing charge. Approx 37c 🇺🇸

[miaggido]

Peak in my area this summer will be $.50 kw at home in Northern California.

Maybe someone already asked this question, but how LONG did it take to charge your vehicle from 20% to 80%? Is it minutes? Hours? Crucial information to know. Thanks!

[conbertbenneck]

If you have to recharge while out on the road, you can waste an hour if you are lucky and a charging station is available, - right now - If someone is using it then you may have to wait an hour till they finish charging before you can start charging. What is your hourly billing rate? Does your client pay you while you charge your car?

As of this morning [12/15/23] the cost to charge a model 3 with an 82kwh battery is 9.25$C

[raywhitehead]

Time to charge? Distance you van drive on 80% charge?

[monicalittle]

Is there anything i can do.... I live in a condo and I don't have a garage. Is there an alternative to home charging?

[ross]

States will start charging you by the mile for road use. Any idea how much replacement batteries will cost?
