Price per kWh over time

Like for like: each network against its own prices, so a month with more of one network isn't a price change. The band is the middle half of prices.

Not enough months of prices here yet to chart. It fills in as drivers add what their charges cost.

By network

The last 90 days (or every price, for a network with none that recent), and the change from six months before.

Prices in USD per kWh billed, as paid (tax and fees included), from charges at public chargers whose drivers added what they cost, each at its charger (as Open Charge Map has it). The kWh billed is the receipt's when there is one, or what the driver entered; otherwise the car's own measured kWh, grossed up by the charging loss PlugLog has measured from receipts (about 7% at DC fast and 10% at Level 2 where none is measured yet). Each charger's average only: no drivers, where they were, or when, and never home, work or other saved places. Level 2 prices can include time-based fees.
