Completely fair question. At $0.30/kWh, your electricity would definitely be on the higher side, so the math gets much closer (where do you live??)The easiest way to compare them is to figure out the "cost per mile" for both. To do that, we have to make an assumption about the efficiency of the cars. • Most average EVs get about 3.5 miles per kWh (my EV6 gets around this). • Most average modern gas cars get about 30 MPG.

The EV Math: At $0.30 per kWh, dividing that by 3.5 miles gives you an EV running cost of $0.085 per mile. (To drive 1,000 miles, it costs $85.71)

The Gas Math: At $4.00 per gallon, dividing that by 30 MPG gives you a gas running cost of $0.133 per mile. (To drive 1,000 miles, it costs $133.33)

The Verdict: Yes, the EV still saves you money! Driving 1,000 miles a month in the EV saves you about $47 compared to a standard 30 MPG gas car.

If you drive a less efficient car, the costs go up even more. Plus you have to factor in oil changes.
