Power company pays to install 120/240?

As I continue to research my purchase, I came across this:

From the looks of it, my rates are pretty good.

Can one of you math gurus calculate the peak/mid peak and off peak to charge the battery at home. I've seen the threads that say how much it takes to charge it, but I don't understand the math.

 

Also, it looks as if they will pay for a level 1 charger?

 

Last but not least the public charging stations are $2.50 per use, that seems high. If I'm getting 21 miles on a full charge, I'm basically getting 31mpg if the gas prices were 3.69 per gallon.

 

With these numbers charging at home makes way more sense correct?

Answering some of my own questions:

 

7.6kw to charge the battery

peak it's 12.150cents or $0.92 to charge up on peak.

Mid peak is 5.5cents or 41.8 cents

Off peak is 2.331 cents or 17.71 cents to charge up

 

Is that right?

A level 1 charger comes with the car.  It connects to a standard 120 volt outlet.

 

Those rates are great.  My power is a flat 16 cents plus or minus a few tenths 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

 

I don't use my level 1 charger.  My level 2 charger typically uses between 6.5 and 7 kWh to charge a completely depleted battery.

 

The units are wrong but the numbers are correct.  A kW is an instantaneous measure of power.  You are billed for power over time which is a kWh.

 

The charger in the car operates at a maximum of 3.3 kW so it takes a level 2 charger slightly over two hours to charge the car.
