While the figures vary, you can expect to spend between $0.03 and $0.20 per mile to fuel an electric car, while a gas car is likely to cost around $0.10 to $0.30 per mile to fuel. But many factors come into play when working out these costs. They can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Electricity rates by state<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Type of charger<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Home or public charging<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vehicle efficiency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, let&#8217;s look at these factors in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 factors influencing charging costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.

For example, in Denver, residential electricity is $0.15 per kWh, so to fully charge a 54-kWh battery it would cost you a very affordable $8.10. On the other end of the scale, in San Francisco, residential electricity is $0.35 per kWh, so to charge a 54-kWh battery, it would cost you $18.90, over twice as much as in Denver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.

Different types of charging equipment have different charging costs and speeds. Electric vehicles come with a variety of charging options. The most common types include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Level 1 Chargers<\/strong>: These 120-volt AC chargers are your standard home outlets, but you&#8217;ll also find them out and about in public. They&#8217;re generally the cheapest but can take many hours to charge your EV, so they&#8217;re good for overnight charging at home or a top-up if you&#8217;re somewhere for a few hours. At home, they are likely to cost an average of $0.17 per kWh, although some states will be much cheaper and others more expensive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Level 2 Chargers<\/strong>: These 210-240 volt AC chargers are commonly found in public charging stations and can be installed at home. It takes about 3-8 hours to charge your EV at one of these, from 20% to full, and they can cost up to $0.25 per kWh, although some places may have free charging with level 2 chargers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>DC Fast Charging<\/strong>: DC fast chargers might be up to 1,000 volts and can potentially charge your car in under an hour. They&#8217;re the quickest option and ideal for long trips but can cost up to $0.60 per kWh.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The speed of charging can influence the cost. Faster charging often comes at a premium, especially at public stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

This is calculated based on the kWh used per 100 miles. The average is around 34.6 kWh for 100 miles but can vary quite a lot (remember, lower is better here). Older electric vehicles generally are less efficient and can be as high as 54 kWh per 100 miles. Some newer models, like the Hyundai Ioniq, boast energy efficiencies of 24 kWh per 100 miles. So, as you can see, the energy efficiency of a vehicle plays a significant role in determining the cost per mile. The higher the efficiency, the lower the cost per mile. For instance, if electricity costs 18 cents per kWh and an electric vehicle has an energy efficiency of 35 kWh per 100 miles, the fuel cost for the vehicle would be approximately $6.30 for 100 miles or $0.063 per mile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Charging at home is usually cheaper than public stations unless you find somewhere with free charging. Public charging stations, especially fast chargers, can cost a premium, and it can be complicated to work out the cost, especially as some stations charge by the minute or hour rather than the kWh. However, many new EVs come with some free public charging perks at specific charging station networks, and you can also subscribe to a charging network to get better rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.

In contrast, if you charge this same Tesla at home, where electricity is only $.016 per kWh, the estimated cost to charge would only be $9.60 from 20% to full, or $0.04 per mile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparison with gasoline vehicles<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/gotire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/7.Comparison-with-gasoline-vehicles.webp\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/gotire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/7.Comparison-with-gasoline-vehicles.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-15306\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27682%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201024%20682%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27682%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gotire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/7.Comparison-with-gasoline-vehicles-200x133.webp 200w, https:\/\/gotire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/7.Comparison-with-gasoline-vehicles-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/gotire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/7.Comparison-with-gasoline-vehicles-400x266.webp 400w, https:\/\/gotire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/7.Comparison-with-gasoline-vehicles-600x400.webp 600w, https:\/\/gotire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/7.Comparison-with-gasoline-vehicles-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/gotire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/7.Comparison-with-gasoline-vehicles-800x533.webp 800w, https:\/\/gotire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/7.Comparison-with-gasoline-vehicles.webp 1024w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Charging a Tesla Model 3 at a public station is cheaper than buying gas for a fairly efficient gasoline car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, there are many factors that need to be taken into account when comparing EVs and gas vehicles. And gas vehicles have vastly different fuel economy, ranging from the measly 15 mpg to the efficient 32 mpg. So, a fairly efficient gasoline vehicle that gets 30 miles per gallon at a fuel cost of $3.90 per gallon (the average cost of gas in the US) at the gas station would have an energy cost of $0.13 per mile. This is still more expensive than charging the Tesla Model 3 at a public station, where it costs $0.10 per mile. Hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), which combine gasoline engines with electric motors, offer another point of comparison. An HEV with an energy efficiency of 50 mpg would have an energy cost of $0.08 per mile, assuming gasoline costs $3.90 per gallon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to reduce costs when charging electric cars<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/gotire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rivian-Wall-Charger-01-683x1024.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/gotire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rivian-Wall-Charger-01-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-15307\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27683%27%20height%3D%271024%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20683%201024%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27683%27%20height%3D%271024%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/gotire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rivian-Wall-Charger-01-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/gotire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rivian-Wall-Charger-01-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gotire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rivian-Wall-Charger-01-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/gotire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rivian-Wall-Charger-01-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/gotire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rivian-Wall-Charger-01-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gotire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rivian-Wall-Charger-01-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/gotire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Rivian-Wall-Charger-01.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The best way to save is to charge at home at night \u00a9 2023 Rivian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So even though, in general, it&#8217;s cheaper to charge your EV than to fill up a gas vehicle, there&#8217;s still a lot of room for saving money on charging costs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Renewable energy<\/strong>: Consider installing solar panels at home.

Some stations offer flat-rate fees, while others might charge by the minute, especially for fast chargers. You might also find free charging stations at shopping malls or universities. It&#8217;s also worth noting that some charging networks offer membership plans that will give you lower rates. For an EV with a 60 kWh battery, a full charge could cost between $12 to $24. However, prices can fluctuate based on location, station type, and demand, so it&#8217;s always a good idea to check local rates or station apps before plugging in!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-coblocks-faq-item\" itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\"><summary class=\"wp-block-coblocks-faq-item__question\" itemprop=\"name\"><div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-faq-item__question__content\">How much does it cost to charge an electric car for 300 miles?<\/div><svg fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"24\" height=\"24\" class=\"wp-block-coblocks-faq-item__question__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M19.39 14.99l-1.41 1.41L12 10.43 6.02 16.4l-1.41-1.41L12 7.6l7.39 7.39z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/summary><div class=\"wp-block-coblocks-faq-item__answer\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"><div itemprop=\"text\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cost to charge an electric car for 300 miles can vary from $12 to $30, although this can vary even more depending on the vehicle&#8217;s efficiency and electricity rates.
