![]() ![]() Without including solar production, based on my current electricity rate it would cost me $6,281 to charge my Lightning at home for 100,000 miles of driving. However, for the purpose of the video, I used the current market rate for electricity in my town, since most people won't be charging their Lightning from their home solar system. Since I have a home solar array I actually pay very little for electricity since 80 to 90% of my electricity needs are supplied by my solar production. It actually outperforms a Raptor going 0-60 and also in the quarter mile. The Raptor is probably the best head-to-head comparison, because of the Lightning's outstanding power and performance. Therefore, site owners set the pricing rules and every site owner has its own pricing structure and rules.īlack Ford F-150 Lightning charging on an Electrify America charging station Lightning vs Raptor: Refueling Cost Unlike the other networks, ChargePoint sells the charging stations to site owners, they don't retain ownership or manage the sites. ChargePoint doesn't manage the charging stations, and they don't set the pricing, that's completely up to the site owner. That's because ChargePoint has a different business model than the other networks. I would have added ChargePoint, but there's no consistent pricing on the ChargePoint network, so it isn't possible to accurately explain how much it costs to charge on ChargePoint. ![]() I also added the cost for me to charge my Lightning on three popular EV charging networks: Electrify America, EVgo, and Blink. However, rates vary greatly from state to state, so in my comparison, I also included the most expensive state for electricity which is Hawaii, and the least expensive, which is in North Dakota. which is what I pay at my home in New Jersey. The national average for electricity is currently $0.15 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). ![]()
