trying to confirm that it is better to charge at home where we pay about $.11/kw (off-peak night 11pm-7am using 110V), rather than at the office where we pay $1.00/hr (using 220V).
assuming we drive our 2016 e-golf SE (3.6kw onboard) about 36 miles per/day, and therefore have about 50 miles left at the end of the day, doesn't that mean we use about 10.0kw and have about 14.2kw left in the battery, so charging at home for 8 hours to get 10kw back costs only about $1.10 (10kw x $.11), whereas charging at the office for 4 hours would cost about $4.00 (4hrs x $1.00; 4 hrs is half of 8 hours b/c office uses 220V rather than 110V)?
Can someone please confirm if my general estimates are correct, i.e. it is about 3-4 times cheaper to charge at home.
Please note: I'm only looking for general confirmation -- i know that: battery usage can vary if the car is driven very hard or gently; home and office charging can vary in voltage; if we drive more than about 36 miles it would take longer to charge at home and we might not get off-peak rates, etc.
