It’s still cheaper to fill your gas tank and drive 450 miles than to charge up your car battery and drive that same distance.
Could you, as they say, show your work?
“No More Stopping For Gas
First, the biggest savings: no more expensive gas. With 100 miles using 34kWh (about 100 MPG) and electricity costing an average of $0.12/kWh, the yearly cost to drive a Tesla Model S 85D 15,000 miles is $612. Compare that to Toyota (TM) Camry’s 30 MPG and an average cost of gas of $2.40 per gallon. At 15,000 miles per year, the Camry will cost $1,200 – almost double what the Tesla Model S 85D costs. What’s more, the Model S 85D will likely cost less than $1,000 for a long time whereas oil prices change daily and could return to $4+ at any time in the future.”

“It is still cheaper to transport 10,000 joules of energy in the form of natural gas or liquid hydrocarbon than by means of electric lines. “
A quick SWAG estimate, most of the energy is lost as heat in the conversion to mechanical energy.
And the cost of electricity is is all over the map, depending on the plan, time of day and location.
And if you want to pick nits, the TCO on the EVs is much lower.
Glad I read your posts before responding in detail to him.
