What is the cost of charging an electric car overnight?

From what I understand, charging an electric car at home overnight is the equivalent of filling up a gas-powered vehicle at a gas station. What is the average cost of charging an EV overnight?

Due to the
high cost of gas
, driving an
electric car
can be a great way to save money, but many shoppers like yourself wonder what the actual cost is of charging an electric car.
On an EV with a 200-mile range and a fully depleted 54 kWh battery, it would cost about $7 to fully charge your car at the average cost of electricity (13 cents per kWh). While your electric bill will go up, that’s a huge amount of savings compared to the cost of gas.
