Cost of Driving an EV

As a cost to charge example, I’ll share my situation. The Model Y has a 75kwh battery. I try to keep the battery between 20-80% charge to prolong battery life. This means, on an average day, I charge it to 80% full at night and assume all my driving during the days takes me down to 25%. Charging from 20% to 80% requires 45kwh. During “super off peak” hours, I pay about 1.5c/kWh. That means it costs me $0.67 a night to charge. That 45kwh provides 180mi of range. Now consider how much does it cost to go 180mi in your car.
