How much electricity does an electric vehicle charger use?

An electric vehicle charger draws roughly 1,400-7,600 W; we use 7,200 watts running 2 hours/day. That comes to 14.4 kWh a day — 432.0 kWh a month, or 5256.0 kWh over a year — using kWh = watts × hours ÷ 1000.

EV charging cost depends on vehicle efficiency and miles driven, but the underlying electricity rate remains the main lever for charging cost by state. New Hampshire prices that energy at 26.92 ¢/kWh, against a 18.89 ¢/kWh national average.

What changes the cost the most?

Two things move this number: your state's rate, which you can't change, and how hard the appliance works, which you often can. For an electric vehicle charger, that mostly comes down to charger level, miles driven, charging schedule.
