How to read it
The cost columns use a reference car that uses 30 kWh per 100 miles, close to the middle of the 12 cars on this site. A more efficient car costs proportionally less and a pickup costs more; open a state to see every car, or the car list to start from the car.
Louisiana is cheapest at 12.72 cents and Hawaii most expensive at 48 cents. These are state averages: your utility, your plan and the time of day you charge can move your own rate a lot. See the method page for the limits, or go back to the calculator.
