Home vs public DC fast charging
Home charging is the default cost optimization. Public DC fast charging in Missouri runs about 3.1× the home rate. For 12,000 miles/yr entirely on DC fast, annual fuel cost would be $2293 vs $740 at home — a $1553 penalty. Apartment dwellers and road-trippers should price this in; daily commuters with home Level 2 can usually ignore public chargers.
DC fast rate is a network average (Electrify America + EVgo + Tesla Supercharger + ChargePoint). Real prices vary by location, time of day, and membership tier.
EV incentives in Missouri
Missouri does not currently run a state-level EV purchase rebate. Federal Section 30D credit of $7,500 still applies for qualifying vehicles (US-assembled with sourced battery components, MSRP cap, household income cap).
