Home Charging Cost Calculator (Georgia Power Rates)
Estimate your monthly and annual EV home charging costs based on Georgia Power residential electricity rates, your vehicle's efficiency, and your driving habits.
Miles Driven Per Month
Average U.S. driver: ~1,100 miles/month
Vehicle Efficiency (miles per kWh)
Typical EVs: 2.5–4.5 mi/kWh. Check your owner's manual or EPA label.
Georgia Power Rate Plan
Residential Standard (Schedule R) — ~$0.1181/kWh Time-of-Use EV Rate (Schedule EV-TOU) — Off-Peak ~$0.0620/kWh Time-of-Use EV Rate (Schedule EV-TOU) — On-Peak ~$0.2200/kWh
Schedule EV-TOU off-peak hours: 11 PM – 7 AM weekdays, all day weekends.
Charger Efficiency (%)
Level 2 chargers are typically 85–95% efficient. Default: 90%.
Georgia Power Monthly Base Charge ($)
Standard residential customer charge: ~$10.00/month. Enter 0 to exclude.

#### Formula
Step 1 — kWh needed by vehicle per month: kWhvehicle = Miles per Month ÷ Vehicle Efficiency (mi/kWh)
Step 2 — kWh drawn from grid per month (accounting for charger losses): kWhgrid = kWhvehicle ÷ (Charger Efficiency / 100)
Step 3 — Monthly energy cost: Monthly Energy Cost ($) = kWhgrid × Rate ($/kWh)
Step 4 — Total monthly cost: Total Monthly Cost ($) = Monthly Energy Cost + Monthly Base Charge
Step 5 — Annual cost: Annual Cost ($) = Total Monthly Cost × 12
Step 6 — Cost per mile: Cost per Mile ($) = Total Monthly Cost ÷ Miles per Month
#### Assumptions & References
- Georgia Power Schedule R (Standard Residential): ~$0.1181/kWh blended rate (2024). Includes fuel cost adjustment. Source: Georgia Power Schedule R Tariff.
- Georgia Power Schedule EV-TOU: Off-peak rate ~$0.0620/kWh (11 PM–7 AM weekdays, all day weekends & holidays); On-peak rate ~$0.2200/kWh (2 PM–7 PM weekdays, June–September). Source: Georgia Power Schedule EV-TOU Tariff.
- Monthly base/customer charge: Georgia Power residential customer charge is approximately $10.00/month under Schedule R.
- Charger efficiency: Level 2 (240V) chargers typically operate at 85–95% efficiency due to heat losses during AC-to-DC conversion. Default assumed: 90%.
- Vehicle efficiency: EPA-rated efficiency varies by model. Examples: Tesla Model 3 Long Range ~4.1 mi/kWh; Chevy Bolt ~3.5 mi/kWh; Ford F-150 Lightning ~2.0 mi/kWh.
- Average U.S. monthly mileage: ~1,100 miles/month (13,500 miles/year) per the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
