    No 1 hour of charging does not equal 1 kWh. If you're charging on 120V, it's 1.3 kWh per hour. If you're charging at 220V, it's 3 kWh per hour. Like someone said, a full charge on Level 1 is 6.7 kWh and 6.3 kWh on level 2.

    What is your electricity rate? Use table below to find the cost to charge fully:

    Electric Rate (cents/kWh) L1 Cost L2 Cost

    Charging current is not constant for lion battery. It would be reduced when capacity is over 80%. That’s why manufacturers claims xx minutes to charge to 80%
