    $0.05/mile EV ($0.15/kWh / 3mi/kWh)

    vs

    $0.17/mile Gas ($5.00/gal / 30mi/gal)

      I’m saving so much more than that it’s not even funny. Rates are 11.5¢kWh and even lower if I charge at certain stations. I get around 4mi per kWh. And if I was driving a gas vehicle it would be our truck and that’s like 18mpg. It’s seriously insane the price difference right now.

      US avg is currently $4/gal.

      But I think the point is that these can vary pretty wildly based on location. In most cases it’s probably several years before you begin to break even. But I would argue the larger savings are on service.

        Either is still absolutely nothing. We’re far over 2€/l and I’m guessing that’s not even high.
