In southern Ontario, I pay 6.5 cents/kWh (off-peak, say the "charge at night" scenario I mentioned as a hypothetical.) and $4.50/gallon for gas. (the exchange rate between Canadian and American dollars is even right now). -- That's 0.15 $/mile for gas and 0.02 $/mile for electric. ... huh, so I'd be saving nearly about $850 $/yr with an electric car, even though I only drive about 6500 mi/yr (though half of that is the cross country trip to visit my folks). That said, my car only cost $5500, so it would take longer than the life of the car to pay off the difference to a Tesla.
