How did you come to that? I did the math. At $0.43/kWh here in SoCal, a full charge for 77 kWh is about $33, which gives around 250 miles. If you’re driving a regular car with 30 MPG, it’ll cost you $45-$50 for 250 miles of gas. It’s still cheaper than gas, even with fast charging.
It depends on the car and where you live. My old Ioniq got 48 MPG. Here, gas is $3.95 per gallon, so it would cost me about $20 for 250 miles. Last time I used EA, I paid $18.75 for 170 miles. Charging prices can vary a lot depending on where you are.
In Texas, I can charge my EV6 in 15 minutes at a fast charger for about $3.60, and that gives me around 180 miles.
Are they still charging by the minute in Texas?
Yep, still charging per minute. It’s kind of weird, but that’s the system.

My EV6 is coming soon in Texas too. I mainly charge at home, but the 1000 free kWh from EA should last a while for road trips. Which network do you use for fast charging?

Anyone have a clue what it’ll cost? Could it be as expensive as gas? EA is getting close.

Or compare it to most American cars that get only around 20 MPG, or even 18 MPG for SUVs and trucks. My F-150 costs $130 to go 280 miles, but my EV6 costs about $33 at EA fast charging, or almost nothing when I charge at home with solar.

The EV6 is more like a Kia K5 or Soul, which gets about 30 MPG. If you compare it to an Outback or something, 30 MPG is still a better match.

That math doesn’t seem right to me.
EA charges $0.43 per kWh. If your car gets 3.5 miles per kWh, that’s around 12 cents per mile. Compare that to $4.25 per gallon gas at 30 MPG, which comes out to about 14 cents per mile. Fast charging isn’t much cheaper than gas, but charging at home is way less. Tesla Superchargers cost around $0.26 per kWh, which is a better deal. Though I wonder if non-Tesla EVs will get charged more.
