How Much Does It Cost to Charge an Electric Vehicle? (A comparison at home and on the road, with gasoline)::Few people know what a kilowatt-hour costs them, so they don’t realize how cheap EV home charging is versus gasoline. On the road, it’s more complicated.

      Even plugging into a normal 110V at home makes a difference.

      The biggest thing people forget about EVs vs ICE is that you almost never leave home without a full tank.

      I mean it is, cause everything I’ve seen says that fuel costs can be double to 4x what the power costs are for recharging for an average EV… Which, if you have a 2000 per year gas bill, will see a very significant reduction.

      especially if you do a lot of stop and go driving, or short range trips (to and back from work, store, school, etc), where you’ll be guzzling gas far quicker than on perfect highway conditions.

      Hell, with stuff like A Better Route Planner, long range trips aint to hard either.

      Technology Connections and Aging Wheels did a long roadtrip a few months back in an EV and did a series of videos about it.
