Just for a bit of fun, let’s see who has the cheapest/priciest overnight home charging among this friendly global community. Just state your off-peak per kWh price (local currency and US$ to help us compare) and your country.
I’ll go first: China, 0.35 RMB per kWh, which is US$0.05 (yes, five cents!) per kWh.
Essentially, filling up with a tank of gas would cost 10x more than filling up my 75 kWh battery.
Bonus: my Nio ET5 pic!

10c usd or 14.5c/kWh in Australia but I charge during the day on solar normally!
Off-peak in NW Oregon (PGE) is $0.07 / kWh.
Central Oregon here with Central electric co-op. At $0.074 /kwh all the time.
Does ToU work out for you? It seemed like a three tier system has very few off peak hours.
Switch to TOU is set for the new year when prices will go up 20%. Still can get ~60% charge comfortably overnight.
$0.0597/kwh, Larimer County Colorado
Cheaper than Metro Denver.
Not by much though - less than a penny. I’ve got a place in Westminster also and just checked my Xcel TOU off-peak and it is $0.0638/kwh
In Arizona I charge during the Ultra-Off Peak rate. Winter weekday days from 10am to 3pm of $0.031/kWh. I keep hearing about an EV tariff. I think you shift your ultra off-peak to night time but it may require a special meter and/or charger that hooks up to the internet. I’ve got to look into it more.
~7¢/ kWh overnight.
Super off-peak in the Atlanta area is $1.7c per kwh
After fees it’s about $0.04, but it’s still nice.
LA off peak $0.10
I pay 12,78 per kwh in Germany, so a 66 kwh cost 8,43 Euros which is the price of 5 Liter of petrol
$.13 in the Seattle area
USD $0.10 / kWh. I don’t have peak/off peak pricing. After all the charges on my bill, it is about USD $0.14 / kWh. But my PHEV only has a 16 kW battery, and a full charge from “empty” to 100% is a bit over 12KW. My last gas fill was at about 1400 miles, and the van decided it was going to use up gas after about 1200 miles since it had been 3+ months since I had last filled it.
Outside Tacoma WA I think it’s .089 cents, so it would cost us about $2.67 for my 100 mile commute, or about the same as 1/2 gallon of gas.
For an ICE to be less expensive it would need to either get over 200mpg or gas would need to cost about 62 cents per gallon if you had a 25mpg car.
About 5 cents/kWh from 8PM to 8AM (US, Midwest). The trade off is that in order to get time-of-use billing, I have to pay almost 20 cents/kWh during the day instead of 15 cents. But it’s a really good deal since the car accounts for most of my usage. A bit inconvenient when I work a lot of overnight shifts, but still doable.
$0/kWh in US MA with 7kW solar that has broken even after no bill for six years and net metering (utility acts like a perfect battery).
$0.12/kWh for first 500 kWh/month, then $0.17/kWh beyond that. Sacramento area in Northern California.
About 11.5 to 12 cents a kWh here. North Central Texas. (Oncor)
