Home charging vs public chargers
All numbers here are for charging at home at the average residential price. Many utilities offer time-of-use or special EV rates that are cheaper overnight; check your utility's rate page. Public fast chargers set their own prices per kWh or per minute, often well above residential rates, and show them in their app before you plug in.
Superchargers are priced per kWh by location and time of day; the Tesla app shows the price for each site before you arrive.
Across U.S. homes that charged an electric car at home, the EIA estimated 2,363 kWh of charging a year, about $407 at the average price (2020 Residential Energy Consumption Survey).
