For some electric vehicle owners, recharging now more costly than filling up.
Here's how much electricity prices have surged in parts of New England this winter: For some drivers of electric vehicles and hybrid cars, it's now more expensive to charge up than to fill up.
Cain said the price hike hasn't changed his driving habits. But it has prompted his wife, who works at a local community college, to charge the car at work where it's cheaper."It's not a point of pain for me, but it's something I've noticed," he said. their power company, National Grid, jacked up local electricity prices to 44 cents per kilowatt-hour — three times the national average.
New Englanders are seeing uniquely high EV charging costs because the region currently has the highest electricity prices in the country. At about 28 cents per kilowatt-hour this fall, it's double the national average.
