—”So when electricity is 50 cents per kwh (12.5 cents per mile), you’re basically that same as what it costs in fuel to drive a gasoline car (roughly).”
As noted in reply 1:
My most recent electric bill charged $00.16 per kWh Including all tax, additional fees, hidden graft...
You might be paying $.50 kWh?
Most in the USA do not.

I’m in Texas and we get our power mostly from FOSSIL FUELS, so yes, very cheap (maybe 10 cents). Unfortunately, soon, that will no longer be the case, so 50 cents per kWh is probably a good number to use for long-term planning, as it provides a starting point for energy storage (although if we ever get the storage levels being discussed, 50 cents will also seem extremely cheap).
