Do you have a low electricity rate?
A petrol car would use around 0.03 gallons per mile (33 mpg). At $ 4 per gallon that's $ 0.12 per mile.
A Tesla model S does around 0.3 kWh per mile. So to get to the same cost per mile your electricity price would have to be below $ 0.40 per kwh.
In a lot of places electricity isn't (much) below $ 0.40 per kwh.
- Thrymr 2y agoNearly everywhere in the US is below $0.40/kWh. The average nationwide is $0.17/kWh. Only a handful of cities in California and Hawaii are over $0.40 (those places have the highest gas prices too). Most people will pay less than half as much to charge at home. ref: https://www.bls.gov/regions/midwest/data/averageenergyprices_selectedareas_table.htm https://www.bls.gov/regions/midwest/data/averageenergyprices...

Off-peak rate (starts at midnight) is 44.2 c/kWh which is as cheap as it gets. (Peak rate in the afternoon after 3pm is 71.3 c/kWhw)
