minus-square Plaidbaron ( @Plaidbaron@mastodon.social ) linkfedilink3•edit-211 months ago@Hopscotch @mmatessa I can only speak for my situation but we’ve crunched the numbers. Per mile it is half the cost per mile than my wife’s ICE car if I used only public chargers. If I charge exclusively at home (which I do 99% od the time) it is a third of the cost per mile. This is in Canada though, where gas prices are very high.
