Thought of another way, if gas was $4 per gallon, it would save Tesla owners a collective $367 million, or about $733.94 per year.Yeah, that's great, as long as they have free electricity to charge the battery.
Tesla owners will puke when their battery pack wears out and needs a new pack. I bought a new gasoline powered car for under 10k with multiple rebates and discounts. It gives me 30 mpg. During a normal life span of cars of about 10-12 years, I am still way ahead moneywise.
And don’t forget that new tax on mileage to pay for the revenue lost to the Feds and local governments for the loss of gas sales. Now taking that into account how much will the electric vehicle owner save, take into account also the escalating cost per kilowatt due to increased demand and dwindling generating capacity.
