The American Automobile Association (AAA) is adding data for kilowatt-per-hour cost for Level 2 (L2) commercial electric vehicle (EV) charging by state to its TripTik travel planner. The national average for a kilowatt of electricity at an L2 commercial charging station was 34 cents per hour on Aug. 1.
As of Aug. 1, the nation’s top 10 least expensive states for L2 commercial charging per kilowatt hour are Kansas (22 cents), Missouri (24 cents), Delaware (25 cents), Texas (28 cents), Nebraska (29 cents), Utah (29 cents), Wisconsin (29 cents,) Vermont (30 cents), Michigan (30 cents) and Washington, D.C. (30 cents).
The nation’s top 10 most expensive states for L2 commercial charging per kilowatt hour are Hawaii (56 cents), West Virginia (45 cents), Idaho (42 cents), South Dakota (42 cents), Arkansas (42 cents), Kentucky (42 cents), Montana (41 cents), Tennessee (42 cents), New Hampshire (41 cents) and Alaska (40 cents).
AAA members are 28% more likely than the U.S. adult population overall to have an electric vehicle, with an estimated 1.2 million AAA members living in a household with one or more EVs.
AAA said it plans to add new EV data features.
