When you compare the numbers, home charging is hard to beat. On a time‑of‑use electricity plan that averages twelve cents per kilowatt‑hour, filling a 60‑kWh battery costs about $7.20—roughly two‑and‑a‑half cents per mile of driving range. Even on a flat residential rate of sixteen cents per kilowatt‑hour, the same charge comes to $9.60. Public Level 3 stations, by contrast, often charge forty to sixty cents per kilowatt‑hour, turning that same 60‑kWh session into a $24 to $36 bill—three to four times higher than plugging in at home.

Home charging also turns “refueling” into a five‑second chore. You pull into the garage, connect the cable, and go inside—no lines, no swiping a card, no waiting half an hour in a dimly lit lot. Because Level 2 charging delivers power at a moderate rate, it’s gentler on lithium‑ion batteries than repeated DC‑fast‑charging sessions, which introduce more heat and can accelerate long‑term capacity loss. That means you’ll preserve range and resale value.

Convenience extends beyond the plug. Smart chargers provide real‑time app updates on kilowatt‑hours delivered, cost per session, and charger status, eliminating billing surprises. Utilities in many states also pay homeowners to reduce charging during peak demand or even to feed power back to the grid once vehicle‑to‑grid programs mature, creating the possibility of future revenue.

Public chargers are excellent for road trips, but for everyday life your driveway wins on cost, convenience, and control. Install once, charge for years, and keep your battery healthy along the way.

Skip the lines—plug in at home.
