OK then, 97% charger efficiency, and 92% motor efficiency...

At 8 cents per KW-hr average (14.3 cents in New York state) the 40 KW-hr battery will take $3.58 cents to “fill up” and a high of $6.41 in NY.

Sounds like a fill up is more than half the price of old fashioned gasoline - after you have spent $33,000 on a puny little car...:^)
