Plug and Charge - how do I tell how much I paid per kWh?

[emichnov]

I have Plug and Charge enabled to be able to use my free 250 kWh of EA charging. I used it yesterday and, during the session, I ran out of my free kWh. So, as can be expected, Ford charged my card for the remainder of the kWh not covered by the free charging. Fair enough. My question is - how do I tell how much I paid per kWh? All I can find anywhere is this Connected Services page that tells me how much the charge was, but not what it was for (i.e. how many kWh they are charging me for). Is this information available somewhere in the Plug and Charge system?

You can find the pricing for that site using the EA app. EA now varies pricing by location.

EA has never shown my charging session, I thought because I was using Plug and Charge. From my EA app:

I finally got a "Your receipt from Ford" Transaction Statement e-mail for this charging session. It said:
Energy: 33.272 kWh
Session fee*: $3.75
Tax: $0.00
TOTAL: $3.75

I know I had 18 kWh left out of the free 250 kWh, so I should have been charged for 33 - 18 = 15 kWh. $3.75 / 15 kWh = $0.25 per kWh charge rate. That roughly makes sense considering the EA app claims it charges $0.44 per minute at this location (21 minutes * $0.44 = $9.24. $9.24 / 33.272 kWh Energy = $0.28 / kWh.

Ridiculous to have to do all this math to understand how Ford is charging us for these Plug and Charge sessions!

Search on that station in the EA app it has the rate. It is 0.44 per minute.

Yep, and the FordPass app will show it too, though that app is significantly more difficult to use than EA’s.

Ha, just noticed FordPass says $0.44 per hour. ? If only!!

Thanks, all.

I agree, since added miles is known and the cost is known, then a less confusing statistic would be cost per mile.
I know if I get 25 miles per gallon on an Ice car and the cost per gallon is $3.50. that is meaningful.
Miles per dollar would be meaningful.
At home it is pretty easy because I get 35-37 miles added per hour so the cost is $.15 for those miles.
On the road the cost is about 4x the cost at home. Since no one has said how many miles were added, I have no idea what the cost is per mile.
