I pay $.11 to .44 per KWH for my electricity (tiered rate structure). Electric cars use about 300-600 watts per mile. Using 75% for charging and batter efficiency that would give you an operating cost just for the electricity of between $.05 to .40 per mile. Just charging your electric car would put you above the $.11 electric tier, so that is unrealistic. Add battery maintainence, etc. and the cost of electric vehicles are much more than gasoline (even with all the taxes). Where is the cost of electricity?
