In California with PG&E which most people have, no you don't save much. It's different if you can charge for free at work.
And yes EVs depreciated worse than any other vehicle.
- dragonwriter 8mo ago> In California with PG&E which most people have, Most people in California don’t have PG&E. Most of the land area in the northern 2/3 of the State or so is covered by PG&E, but people and land area aren't the same thing. Southern California Edison alone serves almost as many people as PG&E, and other smaller utilities, including public utilities like LADWP, SMUD, Silicon Valley Power, etc., serve another big chunk of the population.

We are on a tiered usage which is the cheapest they offer and it's $0.32/kWh and even at that rate the EV isn't much cheaper than the non-hybrid I replaced. I'd need to switch to a ToU plan which would increase my other electricity costs. Also for depreciation: 2020 Mazda 3 - sold $18k at dealer, originally $28k, 64% retained 2022 Kia EV6 - bought $25k, originally $55k-$7.5k federal, 53% retained
