I'm starting to prepare for the MME and ran some charging numbers. I pay about $.10 per kwh hour at home which is less than gas at $3.50.
DC charging seems to be $.31 or $.41 a kwh which could be more than gas. Plus you have to wait 45 min or so to fill up. It does not seem practical for road trips unless DC charging costs get close to what you pay at home.
I think our plan will be to use the MME primarily for commuting and short trips. I don't think we will use the free couple of hours of charging at Target and other places. Charging at home overnight seems to be the best bang for the buck.
I can see why so many people get the ID.4 for the three free years DC charging. I tried to like the ID.4 but couldn't. We are looking forward to the MME and preparing for it is fun.
