I charge at home and it works just fine. I pay $0.25-$0.28/kwh. It puts the cost of a full 75kwh battery at ~$19. That’s still cheaper than paying $4.5-$5/gallo

I charge at home and it works just fine. I pay $0.25-$0.28/kwh. It puts the cost of a full 75kwh battery at ~$19. That’s still cheaper than paying $4.5-$5/gallon at the gas station. In fact, even if I charge at the supercharger during peak hours, it costs at most the same as buying gas.

Gas prices for most Americans (pretty much all outside of the west coast) are significantly lower than $4.50 per gallon. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GASREGCOVW https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GASREGCOVW But it really depends on type of vehicle and type of usage. Lots of start and stop miles, and electric might come out ahead. For example, family with kids that need to drive to various places. Lots of short drives, but not a lot of total mileage, gas might still make more sense. For example, retiree or spare car. Lots of long commutes at highway speeds, gas might still make more sense.
