How we calculated this
We use the US average residential electricity rate (17.0¢/kWh) and assume 1,000 miles of driving per month. Real costs vary by state — California drivers pay ~2× more, Washington and Idaho drivers pay ~30% less.
DC fast charging averages $0.43/kWh across major networks (EVgo, Electrify America, Tesla Supercharger). A mostly-home charging pattern (80/20) is what most owners actually pay.
