I'm based in NJ and recently did the following calculation based on the given values:
- I pay $0.18/kWh at home (supply + delivery)
- I pay per-minute at superchargers in NJ ($0.26 or 0.13)
- At superchargers, my car will charge, at minimum, (from 0-60%) at 350miles/hr. I usually get ~500miles/hr.
- Last night, I charged my car for 15 hours and got ~70 miles. I paid $3.78 (1.4kWh*15hrs*$0.18/kWh)
- If I charged my car at the supercharger, I would have only paid (350miles/hr / 60 minutes = 5.83 miles/minute, 70 miles/5.83 miles/minute = 12 minutes. 12 minutes * $0.26 = $3.12) given that my car was charging in the 'sweet spot' of 0-60%
Am I missing something, or is it cheaper for me to charge at superchargers (versus home) in NJ, given these params?
