How to pay for charging your electric car at home

Paying for home charging is easy – because home chargers are connected to your home’s electricity circuit meter, the cost of the electricity used to charge your car is simply tracked by the mether and added to your monthly bill.

How much home charging costs depends on various factors, such as your utility provider, electricity rates, the charger’s power output, your EV’s battery size, and your driving behavior. 

Home charging is the easiest (and usually cheapest) way to charge your EV, as you don’t need any additional subscriptions or memberships and pay the standard price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity you use. Depending on your electricity tariff, you might even be able to take advantage of lower prices by charging during off-peak hours, for instance, at night.
