Hi Ben, Just wondering how much does it cost you to charge your EV? My typical cost in power to recharge my Leaf daily was less than $15/ month or about 50 cents per day/charge, averaging about 60 miles per day 6 days per week. And to the others here, regarding 120 volt plug ins everywhere...this has long been one of my arguments for EVs. As in which scenario would receive a warmer welcome. A stranger at your door with an extension cord and a $5 bill asking to plug in, or a stranger at your door with gas can, and siphon hose with a $5 bill asking to buy some gas out of your car? The point being that you can usually find a residence or business that will let you plug in if you are in need.
