Just for a bit of fun, let’s see who has the cheapest/priciest overnight home charging among this friendly global community. Just state your off-peak per kWh price (local currency and US$ to help us compare) and your country.

I’ll go first: China, 0.35 RMB per kWh, which is US$0.05 (yes, five cents!) per kWh.

Essentially, filling up with a tank of gas would cost 10x more than filling up my 75 kWh battery.

Bonus: my Nio ET5 pic!

    $0.07/kWh, including 100% renewable surcharge. US PNW (can you say hydropower?!!)

    IMO it’s disingenuous to look only at off-peak rates. Sure, technically that’s what you’re paying to charge the EV, however – if you switch from a flat rate plan to a time-of-use plan to take advantage of off-peak rates, then some of your regular usage is now going to be on-peak at a much higher rate. So it’s a little misleading to look only at off-peak in that case.
