calculate fee for charging car

We have a guest charging their car in our outdoor outlet. How much should we charge for this in NYS?

@Amy2137 Just multiply how many kWhrs they use by the rate per kWhr you pay for electric and add a bit.

If you have an honest guest, he can tell you how much he charged. Charging loss might be 15%, depending on the speed.
Add this 15% to their usage and you'll have a guestimate how much they used.
Multiply that by your rate per kWh, and you know how much you can charge them.

I'm sure that outcome will be much lower than charging at commercial sites.

Be CAREFUL, however, that your electric wiring is suitable for charging a car. 

The average cost of electricity in New York State is around $0.14 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). If your guest's car uses 20 kWh of electricity, you could charge them around $2.80. However, it is also important to consider the wear and tear on your outlet and the cost of providing electricity. You may want to charge a higher fee to cover these costs.
