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!

    We don’t have a discount rate, it’s a flat energy cost rate 24/7. 6/1 - 9/30: 0.1025 / kWh 10/1 - 5/31: 0.0527 - 0.0863 / kWh

    Fall through spring rates are variable on energy use. So, our monthly energy cost is $21-$28, depending on the month, with our typical driving.

      Does ToU work out for you? It seemed like a three tier system has very few off peak hours.

    In Arizona I charge during the Ultra-Off Peak rate. Winter weekday days from 10am to 3pm of $0.031/kWh. I keep hearing about an EV tariff. I think you shift your ultra off-peak to night time but it may require a special meter and/or charger that hooks up to the internet. I’ve got to look into it more.

        Not by much though - less than a penny. I’ve got a place in Westminster also and just checked my Xcel TOU off-peak and it is $0.0638/kwh

        I have the same price with Octopus - the plan is called Octopus Intelligent. You tell it when you want your car charged by, it charges at the cheapest/best times for the grid overnight making sure it’s charged before the time specified and you get it at £0.07 per kWh (or something close) from 11:30 to 05:30 I think?
