Your home charging vs. public fast charging
At home you top up what you drove that day. Public DC fast charging is what you’d pay to refill on the road — priced per kWh, and far higher. Drag the slider above to set your day.

Typical public network pricing — varies by operator
Per mile, public DC fast charging costs roughly 2.2× more than charging at home. Most owners charge at home and only use fast charging on road trips, so your real average lands much closer to the home number.
Level 1 vs. Level 2: can your outlet keep up?
The cost per kWh is the same either way. What changes is how fast the Kia EV6 recovers range while parked at home.
Level 1 · standard outlet
~4 mi/hour
120V · no installation needed
~11 hours to recover 40 miles of driving. Plugged in 6pm–6am, that’s about 48 miles overnight.
Level 2 · 240V circuit
~25 mi/hour
240V · typical 30A home circuit (7.2 kW)
~2 hours to recover 40 miles. Plugged in 6pm–6am, that’s up to 237 miles.

If your daily driving stays under ~48 miles, a regular outlet may be all the Kia EV6 needs. Drive more than that, and Level 2 — or a workplace charger — becomes the difference between an EV that fits your life and one that doesn’t.
Does a Level 2 install pay for itself?
A home Level 2 setup — 240V circuit plus charger — typically runs $800–$1,800 installed. If the alternative is relying on public fast chargers, home charging the Kia EV6 in New York City saves about $77.71/month at 12,000 miles a year.
At a mid-range install cost of $1,300, that’s a payback of roughly 17 months — and every month after that is pure savings.
Winter in New York City
New York City averages about 4 months a year cold enough to cut EV efficiency — typically 15–25% in deep winter. Here’s what that does to the Kia EV6’s numbers at a 20% efficiency loss:
Cost per mile
~8.1¢vs. 6.5¢ in mild weather
Full-charge range
~190 mivs. ~237 mi
The cost bump is minor — a few dollars a month. The range cut matters more: if your daily driving is close to the Kia EV6’s limits, winter is when a marginal charging setup stops working.
