What it costs to charge an EV in Pittsburgh
Home charging is far cheaper than gasoline. At PA's average residential electricity rate, here is what a typical EV costs to charge in Pittsburgh. Your exact rate depends on PECO / PPL / Duquesne Light and your plan, and we set charging to the cheapest hours during installation.
| Driving in Pittsburgh | Home charging (EV) | Gasoline car |
|---|---|---|
| Cost per 1,000 miles | $54 | $118 |
| Overnight charge (about 200 miles) | $11 | $24 |
| Typical cost per mile | 5.4¢ | 11.8¢ |
Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration average residential electricity price for PA (19.3¢/kWh), a typical EV efficiency of 0.28 kWh per mile, and a 28 mpg gas car at about $3.30 per gallon. Shown for comparison; your actual utility rate and time-of-use plan determine final cost.
Serving Pittsburgh, PA
Pittsburgh's hilly terrain and old housing, some still with knob-and-tube or fuse boxes, mean panel upgrades are frequently the first step before an EV charger or Powerwall. Charge Home Solutions installs across Allegheny County, working with Duquesne Light and to Pennsylvania code.
We pull the City of Pittsburgh or municipal permit and plan carefully for tight, historic homes in areas like Squirrel Hill and Shadyside. Winter storms make a Powerwall a popular backup, and we route charger runs cleanly through older construction.

Pittsburgh, frequently asked questions
Usually yes, but often after a panel upgrade. Many Pittsburgh homes still have fuse boxes, knob-and-tube, or 100-amp service; a 48-amp charger needs a modern 200-amp panel. We assess first.
We do. Our licensed electricians pull the City of Pittsburgh or municipal permit, coordinate any Duquesne Light service change, and handle inspection.
