Chat-GPT Assist. It got a lot wrong and needed a lot of QA help from me and still got some wrong. Its image comprehension is very poor and completely ignores image responses unless you prod it into using them.

I like how flabrent did not contribute an energy usage, but he's in the table nonetheless.

Slight correction needed - CHL cost on the Home and EV plan from Dominion Virginia Power, a time of day program, including taxes, surcharges and other stuff is: $0.137 per kWh on average (without the add-ons the energy cost would be $0.056 Apr 16-Oct 15 and $0.656 Oct 16 to Apr 15).

What was your energy usage last year?

I don't see an easy way to get a report on the truck's annual usage. But, if you have the charge station pro, you can see what you charged at home:

Ford App --> Charging Tab --> Charge Station --> Insights --> Drop Down - Select Year --> Back arrow to 2025​

Source/Use	2025	Notes
Solar Generation	10.2 MWh	$1,647 2025 generation value 8 kW system
Xcel (Utility delivered)	5.2 MWh	$0.155/kWh avg $0.132/kWh min Jan $0.172/kWh Max Jul-Sep
Total	15.4 MWh
Lightning	-7.1 MWh	via charge station pro
House	-8.2 MWh

Here’s my annual usage and cost according to the FordPass app, and I only exclusively charge at home.

We bought our first EV, a Bolt, in January of last year. Then added the lightning in June. According to the Emporia charger, we used 7046 kWh during 2025 to feed the EVs. And, according to emporia, the total cost for that charging was about $708.
8 months out of the year we pay about $0.08/kWh for electric at home. The other 4 months it's higher, at just under $0.13/kWh, so that math seems about right.

I'd guess we use fast chargers maybe once a month on average. Without digging up receipts, I'd estimate about $500 spent at fast chargers over the year, but that could be high.

11,900 kwh

I just pulled our EMC Utility Electric bills for May - Nov/Dec here, with an average rate of .13cents overall for the home and 240v 30amp EVSE charging included... average bill of $196.21

if I believe I fill each of my EVs 100% once per week, on average, with a 100kwh LIGHTNING and a 75kwh EV9, it comes out to an average PER MONTH of about $97 for both...
we drive both about 15-20,000 miles per year... not inclusive of DC Fast Charging costs...

in essence, about $50 a month to fill my LIGHTNING, unless traveling...
I would doubt I've ever paid any more than that for DC Fast Charging in month

I’m almost at 60k miles on my 2023. Last year was the most I’ve charged at home than previous years. I try and charge as much as I can for free at work, but didn’t try as hard in 2025. Still 1/4 of what I was paying for my Silverados gas…

 

[Scorpio3d]

15,319 miles for the year
8491.15 kWh FCSP home charging and preconditioning mostly from excess solar
146.6927 kWh DCFC

do I win? Have no idea what the total is but I'm at over 40k miles for 2025....

What does the COST tab show for the entire year, (note the cents per kWh entered) will be used for entire year value regardless of fluctuating rates month to month.

our rates don't fluctuate, so this is pretty accurate.

I'll have to go over my trips to figure mine for 3 months of ownership in 2025.

I wonder how OP is getting 1.91 miles per kwh out in Colorado at 75 mph unless the altitude has something to do with it? On my trips out there pulling a camper back in the day, I always got better gas mileage going up and down the mountains than on the flat stretch of I-70 fighting the wind.

Chris and everyone else: How much or perhaps what percentage of kwh is gained back through regenerative braking over the course of a year which is then reused during the trip? Does one-pedal make that better? Just wondering. Thanks.

No idea if the data could be pulled for that one - at least accurately. And one vs two pedal mode makes zero difference in the Lightning.

If you really want to know your cost for charging you need to calculate the true cost you must include all the amounts for Energy Charge, Fuel Charge, Asset Securitization Charge, Regulatory Assessment Fee, Gross Receipts Tax, and Municipal Franchise Fee and break that down to get the real cost by 1 kwh. Most just use the Energy Charge on their bill. Electrical Utility makes their bills complicated on purpose. Duke Energy for residential charges one price for the first 1000 kwh and then a higher amount for the rest of your usage. Plus they do not have a off prime time cost for the standard residential service. I calculated out the total cost and found that I could change to a Time Of Use plan that had different costs during a 24hr period and by adjusting how I now charge and manage power for my home to get the best value and reduce my monthly bill. Now my yearly cost for electrical power for the year is less than it was before I had the truck so for me this truck has not impacted me at all. It is kind of like free transportation.
