contents We prove that, for every set of $n$ points $\mathcal{P}$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$, a random plane graph drawn on $\mathcal{P}$ is expected to contain less than $n/10.18$ isolated vertices. In the other direction, we construct a point set where the expected number of isolated vertices in a random plane graph is about $n/23.32$. For $i\ge 1$, we prove that the expected number of vertices of degree $i$ is always less than $n/\sqrt{πi}$ Our analysis is based on cross-graph charging schemes. That is, we move charge between vertices from different plane graphs of the same point set. This leads to information about the expected behavior of a random plane graph.
