It appears that it takes 70 amps at probably 240 volts to charge it in 3.5 hours. Or about 59 kWh of electricity. So if you electricity cost 20 cents a kWh the total cost to fully recharge it would be $11.80 or about 5.4 cents a mile. Cost of electricity varies widely. In some places it is closer to 10 cents a kWh. Where I'm at I regularly pay about 37 cents a kWh.
