Nissan Leaf charging cost with DTE Energy in Michigan

Using CalcuRiver’s current verified DTE Energy Overnight Savers (D1.13) schedule, a recurring 11 p.m.–7 a.m. every day in 2026-10 charging window resolves to a duration-weighted 12.69¢/kWh. At 1,000 miles/month, Nissan Leaf is estimated at $39.23 in wall electricity — $32.03 less than the Michigan statewide-average result.

Boundary. This is a marginal charging-energy estimate. Fixed charges, taxes, riders and account-specific adjustments remain separate unless explicitly modeled.

What is being calculated?

Vehicle efficiency3.23 mi/kWh
Utility reference12.69¢ scheduled effective
Battery reference60.6 kWh

MPGe-backed vehicles use the EPA 33.7 kWh/gallon-equivalent conversion; EPA says the MPGe label value already includes charging losses, so CalcuRiver does not add another default loss. Where a manufacturer source gives usable battery and EPA-estimated range but not MPGe, the reference efficiency is battery ÷ range and a 10% wall-loss assumption is applied by default.

Utility reference ≠ complete bill. This estimate applies the encoded marginal energy reference for DTE Energy. Fixed charges, taxes, account-specific riders, eligibility rules and unmodeled bill components remain separate unless the tariff engine explicitly models them.
