Depending on your state, anywhere from 14% to 25%.
The increase is probably in states that have a high amount of EVs. Charging an EV at home must be expensive as hell.

I was reading about EV charging the other day. Most mainstream Teslas have a battery between 65-100 kWh.
The average person uses 900 ish kWh a month.
Even if you only charged it 4 times a month that that would be a 29% - 45% increase in usage, overnight. Not gonna help prices. That's for sure.

My wife's minivan is a plug in hybrid and when it comes to cost of charging it, it really didn't make much of a difference on my power bill after purchasing it. That said, I wouldn't trust only having an EV, the mileage during the winter drops off pretty dramatically. And that is why I'll be purchasing a diesel truck in the near future to replace my Ram

Not really-
Using a Level 2 Home Charger cost on average around $11.00 to fully charge a Tesla Model 3.
Charging once a week, 270 miles per charge = less than a $50 increase in utility bill.
