Maybe I’m missing something here, but I consider this to be a pretty worthless metric. Imagine doing the same thing with gasoline powered cars. So a $20,000 econo box with a 13 gallon tank gets 300 miles per tank. Meanwhile $100,000 SUV with a 25 gallon tank gets 300 mi per tank. All the metric tells us is the one car is more expensive than the other. Duh.

I agree, a worthless metric.

It gives some people something to saddle on.

It is a very odd/ useless metric.

I look at it as I paid X for the car and drove it Y miles for Z years.

My cost to own the car is X/Y. The cost of fuel and repairs is then divided by Y and the multiplied by Z to see that I paid per year as part of the total cost of owning and operating
