The post was about cost per mile.
Not solar roofs, or depreciation of capital assets.
State you case with math. Nobody on the side of “it costs 17$ a mile” has shared their math.
I showed it cost me 2.2 cents a mile, and my gas car costs me 17 cents a mile.
With math.
mistyped 17$ a gallon, not mile.
The math the authors point to is in the study that is linked at the msn article website. They are accounting for tax credits, subsidies for installing fast chargers, etc..
