40 cents for 40 miles on electricity, it's in the article.
Compared to $2-4 for 30 miles on the average sedan, not bad.
Maybe this will finally spur Toyota to add a plug-in standard on the Prius.
- zngtk4 17y agoThat electricity cost is based on a single location. My electricity is 12.5cents per KWH, regardless of time of day. That turns into about 3 cents per mile, rather than 1 cent per mile quoted in this article.

That works out to 82.5¢ for 30 miles, or $1.10 per 40 miles. 82.5¢ is 3 times better than the current $2.60 for a gallon of gas, but grid power is almost double the 11¢/kWh used for these calculations in some parts of the country.
