$0.59 a kWh is about right when supercharging / DC fast charging. Will vary by location and demand, but that's what I've been seeing on my travels.

That's 222 kWh at .58 cents per kwh, which is a lot of electricity at a very high rate. Imagine filling a 28 gallon gas tank at $5 a gallon... the cost of premium in California. Giant battery pack is going to cost more to charge just like a giant gas tank will cost more to fill

Is that .59 in Canadian money? I think the highest I saw between IL and FL was low .40/kWh.

Nope, USD. I’m heading to Boston for Thanksgiving and Tesla chargers range between $.49 and $.55. EA stations along the same path can go as high as $.64 which is ridiculous

If you don't already have them a $12 Supercharger membership discounts rates to the same price Tesla owners pay and a $7 Pass Plus membership should drop those EA rates down by 25%.

as i’ve said before, gm took an ‘approach’ to give range by installing gigantic batteries. makes for a ridiculously heavy and inefficient ev. hard to build ev’s efficiently or make money with the uaw though.

One thing I have to say about Jill... pretty slick. If one isn't paying close attention, you would think fast charging an EV was expensive. The "this has to be fake" is great cover 🤣. Jill, you have to give that Chattanooga guy some much needed pointers. I'm totally serious here, dude has no idea how to do it right

Headed to NJ yesterday on 95, this is the rest stop in DE, brand new chargers! There are also Tesla chargers at this stop, so both options are here.
