Sample DC Charging Costs for EVs


* The $/kWh price is the most common method used by DC EV charging networks, but some use a range of other methods, in addition to or instead of a kW/hr rate. DC Pricing may include an hourly fee while charging, or when congested, like 50c/minute, or an Idle Fee if you remain parked after charging. Some DC Idle fees are from 3c to $2/minute, so always good to move the car when finished charging.

* The $/kWh price is the most common method used by AC EV charging networks, but some use a range of other methods, in addition to or instead of a kW/hr rate. Pricing may include an hourly Duration Fee while charging, or an Idle Fee if you remain parked after charging. Some AC duration fees are 20c/minute and some AC idle fees are up to $1/minute. So always good to move the car when finished charging.

At most sites you can use an EV Charging App or RFID card to charge your EV.
