Question: how much does it cost to charge an electric car in public?
Answer: But wait, charge that car at night or any time on off-peak weekends, as most EV owners do, and the Ontario cost drops to just $2.36. If you aren't in a rural area, the cost is just $1.99. So best case, an EV costs 20 percent as much to fill as a Civic, worst case is a bit over half.
