Gas vs EV price difference (update: sorry I misread the electric fees)

[Bluegtowner]

EDIT: As you'll find out if you read this thread, I misread the electric fees and caused a panic attack for myself. You can skip over this or you can read below for some mild entertainment.

I don't understand the point where people say that EV is cheaper than gas. It costs 44kwh to charge from 36% to 80%

At $0.97/kwh that's $45 around... For a not even entire tank and not starting from 0. Estimated miles at then is 195. Let's say it's 210 for fun that's still only an 8 gallon tank of gas. My Mustang Convertible with a low MPG and 13 gallon tank still went farther for less money...

Is that based on charging @ home? I have a Ford Home EV Charger. It costs me 13cents per kWh. Of course if you if you charge up @ at EV Station, then the rates will vary. I worked out that it costs me in the region of 3 to 5 pence per mile as a petrol would be in the region of 13 to 15 per mile.

Where are you paying 97c per kWh? That’s outrageous. I pay 12c at home which equates to being roughly 2.5x-3x less expensive than a similar gas powered vehicle. If you’re exclusively DC fast charging, you will be approaching similar costs to gas.

I average 4 cents per mile across summer/winter electric rates and driving efficiency.

In a car getting 25 MPG gas would have to be $1.00 a gallon to be the same cost per mile.

Who pays .97?
.18 at home and roughly .40 on the road (rarely)

$0.97kwh wtf?

Yeah, and at $5/kwh it would cost $220. Crazy more expensive than your Mustang Convertible.

It's been said but in New England it does cost more, we are around 40cents a kw charging at home. I have solar but for others it's an equivalent cost if not more for an EV.

All I know is that we have 2 cars. I drive 80 miles per day round trip for work. It cost me around $600 a month to fill my 2017 Hyundai Elantra. My husband had a 2015 Acura TLX that took premium fuel. We charge both MMEs for around $175 per month. So....I think my EV is cheaper than my ICE.

Okay wow I feel dumb lol I totally missed the 0 in front in my math. $0.097. Thanks for making me go double check that! I feel way better now ?

And yes, this is with a home charger.

I hate to agree but I have to for some areas of the country. In Maine my Home Rate is a flat $.28/kWh and winter efficiency 2.8 mi/kWH for my Hyundai (it was less with my Mach E (2.3-2.5)). So in the Winter I am at $0.10/Mile electric and my Mini Clubman AWD is 35 MPG and $3.50/gallon, so the same @$.10/kWh. So equal. If I have to DCFC on a trip, like I am next week, that is out the window as the EV is more ($.31-$.43 for EA or CP road-tripping, My closest DCFC is $0.50/kWh) if I did not have free EA for two years (or still had my Mach E). This all resets in the Spring/Summer and Fall when I will get 3.5-4.0 mi/kWH with my EV and gas goes up to $4+ per gallon. It's all dependent on electricity and fuel costs and it has been a yo-yo lately. Unfortunately this "greening of the grid" is falling on consumers. NH $.36/kWh flat rate, California has areas that are $.33/kWh etc.

So basically your entire point of this post has been self-debunked. Good job!

Enjoy your Mustang convertible.

I love driving past so many gas stations at $5.00 / gallon in my area and it's still going up !

Loved that I cut up my gas card too!
