Wouldn't it be far better to compare fuel cost per mile ($/mile)? This graphic seems useless to me. Maybe I'm missing something.
@Hopscotch @mmatessa I can only speak for my situation but we've crunched the numbers.
Per mile it is half the cost per mile than my wife's ICE car if I used only public chargers.
If I charge exclusively at home (which I do 99% od the time) it is a third of the cost per mile.
This is in Canada though, where gas prices are very high.
I did the numbers for Alberta a long time ago when electricity was really cheap and it came to 1/9 the price of gas. But that was cheap coal which we really shouldn't have.
