How much does it cost to charge an electric car in Ontario?
I’m going to Toronto, Ontario to visit my parents. I have a 2021 Porsche Taycan 4S. I’m planning out how many times I can afford to see them this year, and I was wondering how much it costs to charge an electric car in Ontario? Thanks!

Great ride! I think you’ll be quite pleased with your EV selection when you start road tripping up north! The cost of charging your car can depend on a variety of factors, such as the time of day and what type of charger you use.
Here’s what we know about how much it costs to charge an electric car in Ontario:
- The typical electric vehicle battery costs about **$0.78 a day **to charge at night. A plug-in hybrid costs about $1.92 a day when you factor in the cost of electricity _and _gasoline.
- Per year, it will cost the average driver less than $300 to charge their EV. A plug-in hybrid driver will pay closer to $700.
- Many Level 2charging stationsare free-to-use. As far as the pay-per-use stations, they’ll cost you about $1.00 per hour, or $2.50 per charge.
- Level 3 fast-charging stations with direct current usually charge by the minute. This evens out to about $15 per hour.
Now that you can have a better idea of your various charging options, you can properly plan your road trips. Just make sure you’ve got the best car insurance coverage to protect your awesome Porsche on the open road.
