About ChargeKnow

Sourced, no-guesswork comparisons of EV charging costs, home chargers, route-planning apps, and vehicle ownership costs.

What this site is

ChargeKnow compares the costs of owning an electric vehicle: public charging networks, home chargers, route-planning apps and the running costs that go with them.

Where the facts come from

Prices, plan terms and product specifications come from charging networks, charger manufacturers and app makers. Each comparison table has a Verified column showing whether a figure was matched to an official page, and each article shows its last-updated date.

Electricity prices and charging fees differ by city, time of day and utility, so we show the formula and ask readers to run the numbers for their own driving.

Editorial standards and data methodology

Our automotive research team reviews official manufacturer specification sheets, utility electricity tariff schedules, EPA ratings, and charging network fee structures to build transparent cost-of-ownership models.

All hardware specifications, charging throughput rates, and per-kWh rates are cross-referenced directly with automaker disclosures and public regulatory filings to provide objective, reliable benchmarks for drivers.

Corrections

If a price, spec or network detail is wrong or out of date, email us with the page address. Corrections are made once we can match them to the official source.
