What charging actually costs here
Filling a Ford F-150 Lightning from empty in Maine costs $35.08. The car draws 118.6 kWh from the wall for a full 240-mile charge, and Maine residential electricity averages 29.59¢ per kWh. That works out at $14.62 per 100 miles, or $0.15 a mile.
Maine is more expensive than average: 29.59¢ against a national mean of 19.42¢, which ranks it 48 of 51 for electricity price. The same car costs $15.54 to fill in Nevada and $62.50 in Hawaii — a 4.0× spread across the country for identical driving.
This is one of the few places where the sum does not favour electricity. At 29.59¢ per kWh, running the Ford F-150 Lightning costs $14.62 per 100 miles while a 30 mpg petrol car costs $13.62 — so over 12,000 miles you would spend about $120 more on electricity. Home solar or an off-peak tariff changes that quickly, but the flat residential rate does not.
