Energy cost per mile for similar kind of cars can make it 5-7x cheaper to operate an EV. Electric is 9c/kWh and I get 3.5mi/kWh so 2.6c/mi. Gas is nearly $4/gal and loads of crossovers get like 25mpg so that's 16c/mi. That's a hair over 6x the energy cost per mile. Even if it's 30mpg that's still 5x the energy cost. That translates to ~$10,000 increased energy costs over 100,000mi
