Charging Cost Model
EV charging costs vary dramatically based on where and when you charge. Home Level 2 charging on off-peak time-of-use rates can cost $0.08/kWh, while DC fast charging on Electrify America can exceed $0.40/kWh.
Celvari models your charging mix (home vs. public percentage), applies your utility's time-of-use rate structure from the NREL OpenEI database, and calculates the EVSE installation cost ($500-$2,500) for home Level 2 setups. The result is a personalized annual charging cost that replaces the generic "electricity costs less than gas" claim with an actual dollar figure.
