Could anyone help me figure out what the cost of electricity would be in this case?

For now I’m using a regular garage wall outlet (6-20 being installed soon) and it takes about 15 hours to charge from 55 to 80%.

cost of home charging will be based on the rate per KWH prevailing at your state/location . please budget 80% efficiency ( meaning 20% loss between the KW drawn from the electric power grid and KW transferred into your battery) and charge during off peak hours to get the best rate .
 
According to the interwebs, the average rate for electricity in Milwaukee is 13.95 cents per kwh. so your 12x118V(1.415kw) is costing just less than $0.20 per hour.

Note that 120V charging is notoriously inefficient(like 30% of the power is used just keeping the computers and charging stuff going)
