Just for a bit of fun, let’s see who has the cheapest/priciest overnight home charging among this friendly global community. Just state your off-peak per kWh price (local currency and US$ to help us compare) and your country.
I’ll go first: China, 0.35 RMB per kWh, which is US$0.05 (yes, five cents!) per kWh.
Essentially, filling up with a tank of gas would cost 10x more than filling up my 75 kWh battery.
Bonus: my Nio ET5 pic!

Wisconsin, USA. .08/kwh
Mine is 7.4 cents in the Portland, OR area
Anchorage Alaska. $.24 per kWh. About $7 USD to charge after my wife’s commute. $2 to charge after mine.
On hourly pricing it’s usually under $.02/kWh from the hours of midnight to 5am and sometimes it’s even negative during the summer. ComEd in Northern IL
Central Florida, $0.09 kWh
So my bolt costs ~$6 to fuel, but with solar it’s even lower for me.
I pay $0.09/kWh, however since I work from home my company covers 1/3rd of my electric bill so I’m essentially paying $0.06/kWh. And that’s only for what electric use isn’t covered by my solar panels’ generation.
10c usd or 14.5c/kWh in Australia but I charge during the day on solar normally!
USD $0.10 / kWh. I don’t have peak/off peak pricing. After all the charges on my bill, it is about USD $0.14 / kWh. But my PHEV only has a 16 kW battery, and a full charge from “empty” to 100% is a bit over 12KW. My last gas fill was at about 1400 miles, and the van decided it was going to use up gas after about 1200 miles since it had been 3+ months since I had last filled it.
Outside Tacoma WA I think it’s .089 cents, so it would cost us about $2.67 for my 100 mile commute, or about the same as 1/2 gallon of gas.
For an ICE to be less expensive it would need to either get over 200mpg or gas would need to cost about 62 cents per gallon if you had a 25mpg car.
About 5 cents/kWh from 8PM to 8AM (US, Midwest). The trade off is that in order to get time-of-use billing, I have to pay almost 20 cents/kWh during the day instead of 15 cents. But it’s a really good deal since the car accounts for most of my usage. A bit inconvenient when I work a lot of overnight shifts, but still doable.
$0/kWh in US MA with 7kW solar that has broken even after no bill for six years and net metering (utility acts like a perfect battery).
$0.12/kWh for first 500 kWh/month, then $0.17/kWh beyond that. Sacramento area in Northern California.
About 11.5 to 12 cents a kWh here. North Central Texas. (Oncor)
Off-peak is $.0445 per kWh with Portland General Electric (PGE) in Portland, Oregon.
I also get a $25 rebate each month for enrolling my home charger in PGE’s Smart Charging program, which allows PGE to control the rate of charge on my EV overnight. I get a $25 rebate each month if my charger participates in a minimum number of charging “events” (2 to 4-hour long windows where the rate of charge is reduced somewhat).
Given how few miles I drive my 2013 Leaf (487 miles per month on average) and how often my car participates in the Smart Charging events, I’m basically being paid to charge my car.
Oh, and my ChargePoint EV charger and panel upgrade were also paid for with a PGE rebate.
Texas- free nights. There are some fees so prob 2 cents. Daytime is 13 cents.
