To calculate the total amount charged for the online payment, you first need to find out the convenience fee.

The electricity bill is $80, and the convenience fee is 2% of that amount:

1. Calculate 2% of $80:
\[
\text{Convenience Fee} = 80 \times 0.02 = 1.60
\]

2. Now, add the convenience fee to the original bill to find the total charged:
\[
\text{Total} = 80 + 1.60 = 81.60
\]

Therefore, the total amount charged when you pay the bill online is **$81.60**. The correct response is:

**$81.60**
