How much electricity does an electric vehicle charger use?

This estimate uses a typical wattage range of 1,400-7,600 W and a modeling assumption of 7,200 watts for 2 hours/day. Using the formula kWh = (watts × hours) / 1000, that works out to 14.4 kWh per day, 432.0 kWh per 30-day month, and 5256.0 kWh per year.

EV charging cost depends on vehicle efficiency and miles driven, but the underlying electricity rate remains the main lever for charging cost by state. In New Hampshire, that energy is priced using the statewide residential average of 26.52 ¢/kWh, with a national benchmark of 18.24 ¢/kWh for comparison.
