What does home charging actually save you?

Compare a year of gasoline against a year of home charging. Most drivers cut their "fuel" bill by two-thirds or more.

Why home charging wins

At $0.16/kWh and 3.2 mi/kWh, an EV "gallon equivalent" costs about $1.60 — half the price of gasoline, before off-peak rates. Many utilities offer Time-of-Use plans at $0.08–$0.12/kWh overnight, which is exactly when aLevel 2 charger with schedulingdoes its work. That's the quiet math behind every charger on this site: the charger pays for itself in fuel savings, usually within the first year.
