    Average residential electric cost is $0.18/kwh, and the average new car fuel economy is 29mpg combined then yes, if you inflate the cost of electricity by 25% and reduce the fuel cost of the car by 17% then the ICE car is nearly as cost effective as an EV.

      Where is it 18 cents? I’ve never heard of it being that cheap anywhere. I picked numbers that matched my experience and were easy to math.

        My electricity is $0.09/kwh, or about $0.15/kwh when you factor in the bullshit fees AEP slaps on…

        I also just looked up the average residential cost of electricity…

        Just did the math on my whole bill. My actual price per kWh is $0.19, so more than 18, waaaaay less than 24, I also pay extra for 100% green power generation and I live in an area that is known for its electric utility corruption.
