September 2012: Mitsubishi Motors North America

He's got lower electric rates than I do and I see a lot of 25c/kW around me.   But also, look at the speeds. The higher the speed, the higher the price. The 60c/kW chargers near me are for the 350kw units. You only use them for 20-25 minutes max, and that's if you are totally empty and going to 80%. They're more suited for highway rest stops than grocery parking lots. Though there is one in the local Target that is an insane 66c for 100kw charging, but that Target is a madhouse anyway, so they're probably justified in keeping the prices high. There a certain demographic that uses that Target that doesn't care about money. The 25c/kW / L2 places are for places you'll spend an hour more at. A parking garage for the doctors office, the gym, the grocery store, at the office working. Going to an event next week to try out vehicles. Ford - Maverick Lobo, Bronco Raptor, Explorer Lincoln - Navigator  Acura - ADX, ZDZX, Integra Honda - Prologue EV, Civic Hatch and CR-V Sport Touring hybrids Lucid - Gravity SUV and Air Genesis - 2026 GV70 Polaris - Slingshot Volvo - XC90, EX90 Toyota/Lexus - as many as five vehicles  BMW/MINI - five or more vehicles Hyundai – Ioniq 5 N, Santa Fe HEV Kia Alfa Romeo – Tonale BMW MINI Anything that lights your fire?

No way you guys have had that for a year already?!? It's been that long???  There is no way the average public rate is 25c/kW. This is as believable as taking 30 minutes to fill a tank of gasoline.  I've gone through looking for screen shots of the screen for public chargers in the Seattle area and I could only find 36c or 48c/kW. I'm sure some are lower but I do not believe for one second the average is 25c. I will gladly admit to being wrong, but I sure can't find these. 

A Deville Concours. These were rare when new and rarer now.  These were the high end version that came with the more powerful northstar and magnaride. Concours got all the new suspension tech through this generation as it came out.  

So you need to figure out what that would have cost you in the Trailblazer SS.

For our first year of the EV9, my wife put on 16,871 miles. Average cost for public charging in the greater Seattle area is 25 cents per kW. Across the state we see rates run from 20 cents to 60 cents in the most remote places. Home charging is 10 cents per kW. 1yr total electrical cost is $632 and this includes 4 public charges for road trips. So my cost per mile unless I did my math wrong is 3.7 cents per mile. No oil changes, no other maintenance.
