Cheaper per mile that gas powered especially at today's fuel prices. You have to look at the big picture. EV's cost more to buy, and are worth less when sold or traded in. (from what I have heard. You also have to pay more to license them because they don't pay road use tax at the pump like gas powered vehicles. They also put a strain on our already weak electrical grid. Many states are already having issues with electrical use. Charging EV's just makes things worse. Then if you want to go into it, the unfriendly raw materisls used to produce batteries and what to do with them when they are no good. Can they be recycled? That I don't know.
