It's actually Chile, which may come as a bit of a surprise to many people. Australia lands in second place overall, though it doesn't even compete with Chile. A full charge in the South American country will set you back just $7, whereas in the land of OZ, you're looking at $11. Canada secures the three-spot at $11 as well.
