These numbers are based on some very questionable assumptions. It cost me maybe a third of that or less.

- shiftpgdn 4y agoThe "article" is based off of a study by "Anderson Economic Group" which touts itself as an organization that "offers research and consulting in economics, valuation, market analysis, and public policy." One look at their "Energy and Environment" page should tell you everything you need to know: https://www.andersoneconomicgroup.com/expertise/industry-expertise/energy-and-environment/ https://www.andersoneconomicgroup.com/expertise/industry-exp... Their cost to drive an EV 100 miles is claiming $15, which is absolutely insane. I have a luxury SUV ev (Audi etron) and my cost for 100 miles is about 4 dollars based on 13c/kwh electricity. If I ONLY charged at public chargers it would be between $13.32 (40c/kwh) and $8.33 (25c/kwh). This article is bullshit.
