That's not entirely correct. EV is cheaper only when charged at home.
Especially now since gas has dropped to $2.83 here.That's not entirely correct. EV is cheaper only when charged at home.
The article breaks down EV costs by state when charging at home vs fast charging.
EV at home is cheaper all states with a range of -$13.53 (Washington) to -$2.98 (Connecticut).
However EV fast charging shows $8.36 more (Arkansas) to -$3.23 (Washington).
So for those who only charge at home having a EV is cheaper than gas.
Those who travel a lot or have to use a fast charger because they can't have a home charger, EV's are not cheaper than gas.
So when you are ready to retire, you tell them to shove the gold watch! You want permission to park overnight and weekends at the Charge spot. You can ride your bike back home and then return in the morning with the bike to pick up the car because Lord knows you’ll need a little exercise anyway. Double benefit exercise and free Miles.
That’s still going to depend on state and your definition of “gas car”.That's not entirely correct. EV is cheaper only when charged at home.

The vast majority of charging across the EV fleet is done at home. Google search says that 80% of EV charging is done at home... for me the percentage is even higher. So even though DCFC can be more expensive than gas, looked at across all the miles driven DCFC is an edge case.That's not entirely correct. EV is cheaper only when charged at home.

I tell people DCFC costs are liking fueling up at the fancy rest stop on a Toll highway. You are paying an extra $1 a gallon to not get off the highway, same as DCFC.
This i not my actual travel experience. I did a 4400 mile round trip from MA to TX last year; I calculated the "fuel" costs using mostly Tesla fast charging, with some free hotel charging, cost me the same as if I had driven a 40 mpg gas car. Everyone misses the "free" charging you can get depending on where you stay when calculating costs. https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...a-charging-sessions-road-trip-to-texas.35176/
