I pay a little over a dime per kWh. My Ford F150 4x4 gets 11mpg.

To drive 100 miles, I burn 9 gallons x $2.50/gal = $22.50

25 kWh x $.11/kWh = $2.75

“It was something like 25kwh per hundred miles. I forget the exact numbers, however, I punched it in at the time and based on my current elec bill...It was worse than the cost for my 4x4 pick-em-up truck to go the same distance!”

??????????

I get 16-18 highway in my truck.

In many states you pay a cheaper elec rate for the first amount on your bill and about double that for anything over the low amount they deem you should use.

I figured it with the higher number because the car battery charge would all be at the rate above your normal elec use.
