I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone post what it costs to charge them.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone post what it costs to charge them.”

There have been many! Really simple math.

Assuming a 100 kwhr battery and 12 cents per kwhr equala $12.

Typically that would be 3 cents per mile.

OTOH, assuming 25 mpg and $4.86 gas equals 19 cents per mile.

Supercharger stations run 2 to 3 times higher than home charging.

Yes, we would really need to know the electric cost, as it is the fuel cost of an electric car, to compare against the cost of gasoline for a gasoline powered car.

In fact, you would have to lay out the purchase price of the vehicle, repair and maintenance, fuel costs, and then that cost of replacing the electric car battery. Lay it all out there, and see how much that electric car costs you, say over a 10 year period, vs. the gasoline powered car.

"I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone post what it costs to charge them."

And let's not forget about the cost in lost time while waiting on an electric vehicle to charge. I guess that's only a big issue for society's "makers".
