How much does it really cost to charge an e-bike?

Most e-bikes have batteries between 300–750 Wh. At the US average electricity rate of $0.16/kWh, charging a 500 Wh battery costs just $0.088 per charge — less than 9 cents. Even charging 5 times a week, that's only about $22.88/year.

Compare that to gas: the average American spends over $2,000/year on gas. Even compared to public transit, a monthly pass in most cities costs $100+/month, or $1,200/year.

The 10% charger overhead accounts for typical charger efficiency losses during the AC→DC conversion process.
