No, I am speaking of supercharging prices where I live.

I was a bit puzzled by the above response. We were talking (I think)
about the cost of away from home charging. Home charging, indeed, does
cost around $.10/kwh. Those who pay for SuperCharging, pay about
$.28/kwh. Non Tesla fast charging costs around $.42/kwh. At least I
think those are the numbers that have been quoted. I quoted a recent
trip of mine and just counted the SuperCharge stops. Ten plus one
overnight destination charge. That would have cost a Tesla driver who
does not have free SuperCharging $50-$100. Estimated. For about 2,000
total miles. I make about 10k miles of highway trips in a year. So,
$250-$500 worth of SuperCharging in a year. For local travel on home
charging, those miles would have cost me about $100 (at my $.03/kwh
rate) or ~$300 for at ~$.10/kwh rate.
No, not a huge savings for free SuperCharging. But, it should be more
than $5k over the life of the car.
With Tesla opening the SuperCharge network to CCS cars, it will be
interesting to see how the off brand networks (Electrifiy America, EVGO,
etc) fare. I predict another tremendous win for Tesla because
SuperChargers are better sited, better maintained, and cheaper than the
off brands. In addition, those that have made non Tesla buying
decisions will have more exposure to the value of Teslas.
