    Research firm is bullshitting. It costs like $1-$2 for me to fill up my car with electricity at home.

      Agreed. I have spent $8 in the past month, and I have a 60 mile round trip commute to the office 2 days a week.

        God, I wish. We unfortunately do about 1200 miles per month and our electricity is cheap (15cents per kWh) so we pay about $70/mo to charge our car. Much cheaper than the roughly $200 I would’ve been paying in gas had I kept my Accord though, and if we were better about charging at my wife’s work where it’s free, we’d save a ton more. But she’s only in the office once a week and it’s hard to line up our driving habits such that it’s low enough to charge then
