price of electricity varies by locale, and by charger....My pension is getting screwed by inflation. My wallet is not bottomless. I was told it is cheaper to fuel an EV, so I have a habit of needing to verify that.
but, so does gasoline.
as long as you know the formulas for your locale, you can priceshop to your heart's content to make yourself feel better:
$.xx / kWhr * 3.0 miles/kwhr = average cost per mile for EV
$y.yy/gallon / 25 mpg = average cost per mile for 'comparible' size/weight ICE.
...don't forget that fuel cost is only ONE thing you need to consider. The other significant avoided costs are 'regular maintenance' costs of oil changes, brake pads, coolant changes.
