USD $0.646 per KWh

We encourage you to use premium electricity as it will solve any knocks or pings you may experience.

Electricity priced at .646 must be premium. It's got to be better than that electricity priced at .40!

Actually, it comes from a German WOMAN, who’s father was a master baker in a small village near Freiburg (the one in southern Germany, near the French and Swiss borders). She and her husband were the ones who taught me to make pretzels and she’s always annoyed that I don’t score the belly on my pretzels and that I deliberately have the ends overhang slightly (I like doing that so I can bite off the ends).

please do give it a go and let me know what you think? I will confess that I haven’t tried butter on pretzels, which I’m told is traditional.

Butter alone is too monotonous for me. I know it`s traditional to take it pure, but I spice up my butter with herbs, a little garlic, and salt.

About $0.075/kWh (in USD) here in British Columbia for at home, $0.037 for off-peak. ~$0.22 for Level 2 provided by local electric utility company, $0.27 for Level 3. Tesla Supercharges are so much more that I don't even look.

If you don't have access to a home LV2 charging it's really not worth getting a EV. I save big time around town but no so much on trips. That's why I take my ICE on trips. Cost about the same but can stop anywhere I want.

I haven’t had easy access to my home charger for the past few days, so I took my car to the EVgo charger nearby. 47.886 KWh cost $30.94. I know electricity is stupidly expensive in the Philadelphia area, but this seems a bit … excessive? Does this sound reasonable? Note that I am not a “member” of any charging network because I rarely DCFC.

64¢ per kWh is a common price at Pilot/Flying J stops with the GM Energy (EVGo) chargers. I recently paid this at one in Carlisle PA. I'll avoid them in the future at that price!

I think the only way one could tell if this is "excessive" is if one can compare it to what you would pay at home. It is definitely going to be more expensive, but there should be some kind of ratio.

For instance, here in Northern California, we pay .62 Peak, .51 Partial Peak, and .31 Off-Peak. While traveling down to LA I think all of the Electrify America stations I have stopped at are .65, which I judge as "not excessive", but like the others have said, if I had to pay that all the time, I wouldn't be saving anything over using an ICE car, and probably the least expensive would be a hybrid.

That's a good price for L3 charging. Of course if it's near home, you wouldn't use it anyway.

With these prices, it's no wonder people are switching back to the ICE. That's not how electric mobility works.

With over 40k miles driven, I have never charged in public. I think that makes me pretty awesome.

It's that expensive just about everywhere I've ever seen. More expensive than gas, and it takes 100x longer to "fill up". I only charge at home, where prices have increased 60% in the past four years, "for unknown reasons."

Electrify America Superchargers in parts of SoCal $0.75\kwh....ask me how I know.

Wow. Who would pay that?

 

[SLO B]

I charge at home in the Central Coast but occasionally have to go to LA. I don't have time to "shop around" for the best price especially as I've had trouble finding stations that aren't full. So I take the first I can find that is open....hence having to pay whatever they cost. I'm also stopping at peak hours in the afternoon. Fortunately the MME range is such that I only need one stop to get me there and back. But yes, at that point it becomes a much less compelling case to go electric if you consider the time factor.

So far electricity is the only thing that hasn't skyrocked in the past few years due to The Great Migration.

So commuting with an EV has been win-win for the 2 years I've been doing so. (win-win meaning Hoot/$savings)

I'm typically an optimist, but not so much on this front. I'm fully expecting energy costs to catch up with all the other increases at some point.

Hang in there, we've been driving BEVs since 2013 (VW, BMW, Tesla, now MME) and wouldn't have it any other way. We're fortunate to have both solar and whole house battery-backup (LG Chem 32kW) so can live with the occasional high public charge rate. We live in a high fire risk area and have frequent PGE outages so the batteries work great for us but also means our energy costs are very low esp. in the summer. Hopefully this country will come to its senses after the reign of the current "king" comes to and end.
