So then with electricity rates, for a highway trip you would have to consider the fast charger higher rates although on my example, a 240 mile each direction, you might be okay on your less expensive home rates.
So in my example I was $9.30 to go 100 miles at an average of 80mph (75-85mph)
My brothers EV6 would probably cost about $10.50 to go 100 miles using Walmart fast charging and $4 to go 100 miles charging at his home
