I didn’t read the whole story (I have standards to uphold)
, does the writer say how much it costs to charge such a vehicle.

No, because price would vary according to your utilities prices...............

For what it’s worth, my crossover Hyundai BEV (fully electric, not a hybrid), gets 3.7 to 3.9 miles per kWh DC doing local driving, which includes a mix of 35 mph to 75 mph speeds and includes running the AC. Reduce that by 10% when charging (while converting home AC to DC during the charge process) and call it 3.5 miles per kWh AC.

As far as how much each kWh costs, it’d depend on your local utility rates. In my last power bill that was about 13.8 cents per kWh (pretending I didn’t have home solar providing most of my power, and including the 1.7 cent per kWh discount our utility gives EV owners to charge at night to encourage us to not drain the grid during high demand day hours). Thus in Alabama every $1 added to the power bill gets 25 miles. So last months 1,272 miles would have added $43 to the power bill if I didn’t have home solar providing 90.8% of last month’s power.
