New York Electricity Rates
New York's residential rate of about 29.90¢/kWh (EIA, July 2026) runs roughly 63% above the 18.31¢ national average, with downstate (Con Edison territory) typically pricier than upstate. Con Edison's SmartCharge New York program pays EV drivers about $400 a year on average — 10¢/kWh for charging between midnight and 8 a.m. — and both ConEd and National Grid offer time-of-use rates that cut overnight charging costs. One caveat: cold winters can trim real-world range 20–30%, raising your effective cost per mile from December through February.
The Chevrolet Equinox EV on Home Charging
The Equinox EV's big 85 kWh battery delivers 307 miles of range at a respectable 3.61 mi/kWh. A 48A home charger adds about 41 miles per hour, so overnight charging comfortably covers even heavy daily use — the large battery means each full charge costs more, but you will do it less often. A full 0–100% home charge costs about $28.24 at 29.90¢/kWh. New York’s 29.90¢ rates plus winter range loss make this one of the pricier combos — a time-of-use overnight plan helps most.
