you might want to re-check your math.
Off-peak electricity rate in my area is around $0.14/kWh. One full charge is about 14 kWh, $1.96. This can go about 30mi max, for $0.065/mi.
My 300cc bike getting 60 mpg at a cost of $4.20/gal comes out to $0.07/mi.
Did I miss something?
Wait until you factor in replacing the entire battery pack of an EV in 10 years for $10k...
Yep, I agree with your point. EVs have some desirable traits IMO, but some people seem to think they will never need expensive repairs and that their fuel is free.
