What You Actually Pay at Home Charging

Home Charging charges 17¢/kWh as its standard per-kWh rate. For a Tesla Model 3 or similar 75 kWh EV, an 80% top-up costs $10.20 — adding roughly 280 miles of range. Home Charging has no paid tier; all drivers pay the same published rate.

Real-world pricing deviates from the published rate for three reasons. First, location: Home Charging rates can vary by station, especially at premium sites or airports. Second, peak demand: some sites add congestion pricing during busy hours. Third, idle fees: most networks charge $0.40–$1.00/minute if you stay plugged in past full charge, which can add several dollars if you're inattentive. Always check the app price before you plug in.

Level 2 charging is inherently slower than DC fast charging — you're limited by the car's onboard AC charger, typically 7.2–19.2 kW. At Home Charging's Level 2 stations, a 75 kWh battery takes roughly 8–10 hours for a full charge, which is why L2 works best for overnight, workplace, or destination charging rather than a road trip pit-stop.

Compare Home Charging against home charging: at the national residential average of 16.5¢/kWh, a 75 kWh full charge costs $9.90 — about $0.30 less than charging at Home Charging. Over 50 sessions a year, that's a difference of $15.00. For most drivers, this is the strongest argument for installing a home Level 2 charger (about $500–$1,500 installed) if you own your home. For renters and road trippers, Home Charging's coverageis what you're paying for — reliability and geographic reach, not just electricity.
