Unless my math is wrong...

I can charge my 80 kw battery for $7.20. ($0.09/kwh during night charging).

In theory that gives me 310 miles of range. Lets be conservative and say 240 miles.

93 octane gas is $3.50 near me. So that $7.20 would buy me 2.05 gallons of gas. Over 240 miles that's 117 mpg, or 4.6 times more efficient than my E46.

I think super charger rates are more like $0.25 / kwh. I mean, mine will be free, but even if it weren't, who cares? 99% of my charging will be done at home.
