Cost to charge at home in Florida

120 Volt Charging is necessarily less efficient., there is just much less amperage available and therefore the Charge Cycle will be much longer.

If you have a 10 watt bulb in a lamp and you burn it 100 hours you have used one kilowatt of power. If you have a 100 watt bulb in a lamp and you run it 10 hours you will have used 1 kilowatt of power. If you put 50 kilowatts in to a Telsa, if it takes 5 hours or 50 hours for the charge, it is still 50 kilowatts which in my area is about $5.50 USD. Some Chargers on the road by the minute. But at home you pay per kilowatt...
 
I charge my 2014 Model S 85 in my garage at our condo through a 110 outlet. I’m retired so trickle charge is fine for me. My condo association wants to put a parking space outside for electric vehicles to charge. How do I show them how much it costs to charge my car? There is no separate meter for my garage. The homeowners association pays electricity for all garage electricity. They think my car charging is costing everyone more money.

The absolute max energy that you could draw (if charging 100% of the time) is 1,000 kWh or $100 at $0.1kwh. Now you know that you cannot charge 100% of the time - unless you are just using the car as a heater, you'll need to drive it. A good rule of thumb would be 50% driving, 50% charging - that would be a max of $50 (for unlimited usage). The actual math is harder to do since it takes longer to charge than it does to drive.

Now, if you are just going to the store, your usage won't be trivial since you still need to run the A/C each time, but you are probably looking at between $10-$30 a month at 10 cents per kWh.
 
I live in Ohio, I have been driving 100 miles per week watching my grandson. I keep the heat set at 71 degrees and tend to like to see how fast I can get to the speed limit between lights. My Model Y is a blast to drive. Driving wild and crazy I am in the low 300's (Kw) per miles.

I took a 1,200 mile trip Thanksgiving weekend it was 27 degrees during my last leg.. My last leg was 199 miles Lexington, KY Supercharger to my home in Worthington, Ohio. I left Lexington at a 90% SOC (State of Charge) and arrived in Worthington, Ohio at a 19% SOC. That is 71% to go 200 miles, With a 74 Kilowatt battery that mean that I used 52.54 Kilowatts, with the Heat on 71 degrees and driving 70 mph. At my local rate of $0.1233/kWh that means that is cost me $6.48 to drive those 199 miles or about $0.0325/miles. Three and a quarter pennies per miles at highway speeds with the heat on... If you really take it easy you can go a long way on very little money....

Yes, measuring by time will tell you the amount of power drawn from the wall, but predicting the charge time based on battery pack size is a very coarse estimate, especially when charging at 120v. Efficiency is only 60-70%, and that's without the car having to run the battery heater.
 
Then the article is so... wrong!!!

My 2020 AWD LR Model Y has a range of 316 miles on a 74 Kw battery (74,000 Watt). 74,000 watts divided by 316 miles is an average of 234.2 Wh/mile. On some of my highway trips (staying at a speed limit of 65 mph) I average 266 Wh/per mile. Which is even a greater total range.

If you have a Model S that has a range of 390 miles with a 100 Kw battery that is 390 Wh/mile. If you divide 266 by 390 you get 68%. It cost 68% as much per mile to drive a Model Y as a Model S. So, for every $1.00 of electricity the Model S uses the Model Y will only use $0.68...

Someone who wrote the article needs to go back to school....

If you drive a Model Y 10 miles per day without Jackrabbit starts, you would use 2,660 watts (or 2.66 Kw) with your electric cost being about $0.10/KwH you would be at about $0.26 per day. Since the charge system is only about 90% efficient, you would be at about $0.29/day or $3.00/month.... This would not take into account power used if you pre-heat or cool the car, or sit in it playing games...

I think there’s a mistake in your Model S calculation. Assuming full battery rating (and not usable capacity), you had Model Y at 74000/316. By the same token, Model S would be 100000/390 = 256 Wh/m and not 390 Wh/m. Overall your assumption is correct and, on paper, the Model Y should be cheaper to operate and recharge, 234 vs 256 Wh/m, but the difference isn’t as large and may even favor the Model S in real-world conditions.

I don’t know if EPA testing factors in wind resistance or it the car is tested inside a building. Tires can also make a difference and affect efficiency. I recall an article stating the S doesn’t lose as much efficiency at higher speed compared to the 3/Y. As such, depending on the type of driving, you may use less energy in an S. At 65 MPH, my Raven S was averaging 230 Wh/m (better than its EPA rating):

Here in Ohio on Winter Trips, 600 miles or more, I have been averaging 226 to 266 Wh/mile. Local wintertime is a much higher rate, primarily because around town I have a heavy foot. and I will be over 320 Wh/mile, but I am having fun. On some nice 65 degree day I am gong to drive a speed limit trip on the local interstate until I am at 5% to see what range I am getting. But I am willing to bet that my 316 mile range will go 300 miles with a few percent left.
