    Wouldn’t it be far better to compare fuel cost per mile ($/mile)? This graphic seems useless to me. Maybe I’m missing something.

      @Hopscotch @mmatessa I can only speak for my situation but we’ve crunched the numbers.

      Per mile it is half the cost per mile than my wife’s ICE car if I used only public chargers.

      If I charge exclusively at home (which I do 99% of the time) it is a third of the cost per mile.

      This is in Canada though, where gas prices are very high.

        I did the numbers for Alberta a long time ago when electricity was really cheap and it came to 1/9 the price of gas. But that was cheap coal which we really shouldn’t have.

      Of course it would trivally be. That on the other hand does not sell electric cars loaded with subscritptions nobody wants.
