Home charging beats public networks on cost in every state — but the gap varies from $8 to $45 per full charge depending on where you live and which network you use.
Hawaii residents pay the most for home charging (38¢/kWh), making some public networks a genuine alternative. Idaho and Washington drivers (10.5¢/kWh) save the most by charging at home.
Electricity Rates by State
Home charging cost is entirely determined by your state's electricity rate. These vary 3.6× from the cheapest to most expensive state.
