Cost to operate a Chevy Volt

The cost for the electricity to charge the Volt is never mentioned so I
looked up what I pay for electricity.

I pay approximately (it varies with amount used and the seasons) $1.16
per kwh.


Really?

4.422 cents/KWh off peak

13.266 cents/KWh on peak

Assuming I were to charge at night that's a 2623% error.
