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.
That’s all well and good for someone in a house. It doesn’t work for someone living in an apartment complex where they don’t have outlets they can simply plug into, and running an extension cord outside would likely violate some rules, or simply be impossible.
I’ve lived in places where my apartment was 3 floors up and my car was at least 100 yards from my door. I lived in another place where I was 21 floors up and my car was in a parking structure down the street. Another place has garage under the building with controlled access. I’ve lived in about 20 different apartments of all kinds, and I can’t think of a single one where I would have been able to charge a car.
Access is a problem for many people. I don’t know why I’m getting so much push back on this. Has no one lived in an apartment?
