One important caveat to this. It costs less than 17 cents to generate 1 kwh. Closer to 3 cents really. But that's the cost of making the electricity, getting that electricity to a house or charger or what have you costs more. Since energy is a for profit industry they tack all the logistics costs to the client buying the electricity.

So your math is spot on but I fear the amount of markup on the electricity will be massive especially since it's for a business let alone an airline.

    The entire airport is now covered in solar panels. Yes, the runway is a solar panel too.

    National average it's 55¢ to run 3kw on 3phase electricity for an hour. Offshore areas like Hawaii and Alaska see higher costs like 1.60$/hr per 3kw on 3phase electricity but Alaska has a higher natural gas usage and Hawaii is further away from the CONUS electrical grid. National average per 24/hrs of charging is a little over 13$ with 3kw at 3phase.
