Does ev really save you on fuel cost?
Post Body

My ice car gets 20 miles/gal. (My foot is heavy) It takes premium gas and it's around $2.8/gal around me.

Typical ev goes about 2.8~3.1 miles/kwh if you care efficiency.

If ev goes 3 miles/kwh, it will need about 7 kwh to be equal to miles per gallon of gasoline.

I've seen some DC chargers charge users for $0.40 or more per kwh. $2.8 = 7 kwh <-same mileage -> 1 gal gas = $2.8

With this rate, using DC chargers doesn't make any sense and if you are on road trip, you don't save any on fuel cost but spending ton of time while getting charged and having mileage anxiety...

Any thoughts? Why some of DC charge rates are so high?
