Here’s a quick way to size it for the AODES E-TrailCross (48 V, 150 Ah lithium ≈ 7.2 kWh pack). A full charge pulls ~8.0 kWh from the wall after charger losses and typically yields about 40–70 miles of use (terrain/loads matter). Aodes Dealer Portal+1BDX Performance
In short $5 to $25 per month depending upon how many miles you drive, $5 per 200 miles.
Cost per full charge (Virginia rates)
-
Virginia residential electricity ≈ $0.154/kWh (June 2025 EIA).
8.0 kWh × $0.154 ≈ $1.23 per full charge. U.S. Energy Information Administration
Cost per mile
-
$1.23 / 40–70 mi ≈ $0.018–$0.031 per mile (1.8–3.1 cents/mi).
Monthly bill bump (examples)
Assuming $0.154/kWh and typical efficiency (about 0.10–0.18 kWh/mi from the wall):
-
Light use (≈ 200 mi/month): ~$5/month
-
Moderate (≈ 400 mi/month): ~$9–10/month
-
Heavy (≈ 800 mi/month): ~$19–25/month
Rule of thumb: ~2–3¢ per mile on your power bill in Virginia.
