I used to be dismayed that fast charging the electric car ended up being about as expensive as filling the tank with gas (price per mile), because damnit electricity should be cheaper than gas, and I was having to wait “at the pump” for longer periods of time. But it still made up for it because outside of road trips I never had to use the fast chargers.
Now it’s work the wait, because even 60 cents per kilowatt (which is still so much bullshit) I go so much further per dollar than 6 dollars a gallon gas.
Ouch! I pay 9 cents a kilowatt on my electrickery bill. 60 cents sounds like a total rip off. Is that normal price or is that what they charge at the stations?
Depends on the area, time of day and vehicle. Tesla chargers have a non Tesla rate (0.72/kWh) vs Tesla rate (.48/kWh).
