As I appear likely to be in the market for some kind of CUV next year, I was idly thinking about EVs. They appear to cost about $10 K more than an ICE vehicle, roughly. They do tend to offer better acceleration in most categories.
But say I get a Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, which is in the running, and it really gets 37 mpg. If I drive it 6,000 miles a year, which is about right for us, I'd need 162 gallons of gasoline. Around here, gas is fairly cheap, but it bounces around, let's say $3.50 per gallon, so $570 for gas, per year. For folks who drive a more typical distance in a year, call it $1,000 in gas per year.
If charging an EV was free, you can see where I'm going with this (aside from any tax credit). Maybe for a truck or heavy SUV that would get 16 mpg or so it starts to make more sense?
