The power consumption of an EV is typically measured in kilowatt-hours per 100 miles (kWh/100 mi). Additionally, we must consider the total electricity needed to fully charge the vehicle, akin to how we think about the cost to fill up a tank of gas in traditional combustion engine cars.

While this is also a con, limiting charging to private use means there will be less competition for the available power. Additionally, less use often means less wear and tear, leading to less overall maintenance for charging stations. Owners can also incur cost through increased station maintenance due to use.
