EV Charge Hi, I’m Àlex Cano. I built EV Charge Math.
I run small businesses in Barcelona, Spain, and most of my work comes down to putting honest numbers on things: what a construction change order is really worth, what furnishing a hotel actually costs. When I looked up what it actually costs to charge an electric car in the U.S., I kept finding the same vague answer: “it depends.” It does depend, but on things you can measure. So I measured them.
What this site is, and what it isn’t
- It is a set of calculators and state-by-state numbers built on official U.S. government data (EIA, EPA, Department of Energy), with every source linked.
- It isn’t a car review site. I don’t own an EV in the United States, and I won’t pretend to. When a page relies on drivers’ real-world experience rather than data, it says so.
- It isn’t financial advice. These are estimates to help you compare. Your utility bill is the final word.
How I keep it honest
- Every figure links to its source, and the methodology page shows the formulas.
- Pages show the date they were last updated.
- Errors get fixed and logged publicly. If something looks wrong, tell me.
You’ll see short notes called Volt’s take across the site. Volt is the site’s mascot, the little charger in the logo and in our videos; the notes are written by me and give my practical read of the numbers on that page.
