"How much are professionals typically charging for their services in various industries?"
The cost to charge an electric vehicle (EV) varies by state and charging method.
For example, in California, Level 2 charging costs about 30 cents per kWh, while DC fast charging is significantly more expensive at roughly 40 cents per kWh.
Charging a Nissan Leaf with a 149-mile range and efficiency of 30 kWh per 100 miles from empty to full at a Level 2 charger would cost approximately $13.
In Hawaii, 100 miles of home charging in a GMC Hummer EV costs $27.48, while 100 miles of highway fast charging costs $37.11 or more.
Some Tesla Superchargers charge up to 50 cents per kWh, making a 683 at-home Tesla Model 3 charge cost $30, and a 149.2 kWh Lightning fillup jump to $537.15.
The average US household pays $0.17 per kilowatthour of electricity.
Charging an EV with a 60kWh battery capacity at home would typically cost around $10.
While the percentage of charging sessions that exceed 20 kilowatthours in draw has grown over time, about 70% of charging sessions use less than 10 kilowatthours per plug-in.
People tend to charge at very unpredictable times, often during peak hours when electricity prices are highest.
Fast charging, also known as Level 3 charging, can charge an EV's battery much more rapidly than Level 1 or 2 charging.
The cost to charge an EV is calculated by multiplying the price per kWh by the total usable kilowatthour capacity of the battery.
Charging using a standard 120-volt outlet will give your battery about five miles of range per hour, requiring at least six hours of daily charging for a 30-mile commute.
For an EV, you will use about 375 kWh in a month, costing nearly $58 per month to charge at home.
Charging your EV from empty can take as little as 2.0 minutes or upwards of 40 hours, depending on several factors.
The total cost of ownership of an EV, including charging and maintenance costs, is generally lower than that of a gasoline-powered vehicle.
Installing a Level 2 charger at home can cost between $200 and $1,200, depending on the equipment and installation complexity.
Public charging stations may offer free charging or charge per kilowatthour or per minute of charging, with prices varying widely.
In some states, off-peak charging rates can be significantly lower than peak rates, incentivizing EV owners to charge during off-peak hours.
Federal and state incentives, such as tax credits and rebates, can help offset the upfront cost of purchasing an EV and installing a home charging station.
Some employers offer free EV charging at the workplace as a benefit to employees.
EV batteries typically have a lifespan of 8-10 years or around 150,000-200,000 miles, depending on the make and model.
The cost of EV batteries has been decreasing rapidly, making EVs more affordable over time.
In 2024, the average cost of an EV battery is around $130 per kWh, down from around $1,200 per kWh in 2010.
