1/ Did you know that the average EV driver fills up with less then a gallon of gas of energy each trip to a EV fast charging station? Think about that!
Let's explore what is behind this & the implication for the future of car refill

2/ According to publicly available data from @ElectrifyAm, the average amount of energy an EV driver fills up with at fast charging stations is only 33kWh per trip.
At an efficiency of 4 miles per kWh, that's around 132 miles of range per session.

3 / For comparison, gas cars have a range of about 350 miles per tank with 12 gallons of gas.
While EVs still have some catching up to do, the growing availability and convenience of fast charging stations are making them an increasingly viable option for daily driving

1/ Let's talk about one of the most important factors in the world of EV charging: pricing!
Fast charging stations from Electric Era, @ChargePointnet, @BlinkCharging, @ElectrifyAm, @Tesla, @evgonetwork can have vastly $/kWh.

2/ Let's take a look at the cost of charging 33 kWh of electricity from each of these networks.
@ChargePointnet's pricing varies depending on the station, but typically is ~$0.45/kWh.
So, a 33 kWh charge should cost roughly $15

3/ @BlinkCharging's pricing is also location-dependent, but generally ranges from $0.30 up to $0.69/kWh.
Charging 33 kWh would cost around $9.90 to $22.7
