Some final photos from today. The trucker is due any time. Wow, I really did like Infinite blue.

3.7 Mi/kWh Efficiency over 11280 miles. Not too shabby! I never reset trip 1 and it rolls over at 9999. I was doing a master reset and forgot to take a look. Since 1/2 my power was free at work, I will just assume residential rates for all of it. 11280/3.7=3049 kWh. My rate was $.176 so that’s $537. Or $0.0476/mile. Or with mid grade at $3.40 per gallon average over the last 6 months., the gas MPG equivalent ( cost basis) at 72 MPG. That is awesome. And I only charged less than 1/2 at home, so I was at 143 MPG (cost equivalent) for 6 months. Who says EVs do not pay!

Now, to be fair there is 8-10% loss in charger losses that I ignored in these calculations.

With 10% 3388 kWH, cost $597. Or $.053/mile or gas equivalent of 65 MPG. Still awesome. So 1/2 at home, 130 MPG for 6 months.
