That's on top of the added cost of an electric vehicle. Worse, how does it handle the Chicago winter? I'll be running the heater 6 months out of the year, which is a drain on the battery, but on a ICE-based car, it just uses excess heat with no cost on fuel. So its tough to figure out what my real cost per mile will be in the winter. I think TCO is going to be difficult to calculate for many people, especially when you're on tiered electric pricing that punishes heavy users. Electrics may have an uphill battle to popular adoption if the PR narrative is 'save money' instead of the other benefits of electric. I can't imagine the Model 3 edging out the Civic or Fit and other cars for TCO-minded consumers. The only Telsa owner I know here in Chicago told me that his electric bill went up about how much he was spending on gas before. I suspect this is going to be the case for many.
