yeah but thats mpg, not counting for idling in traffick, which if you are hopping around town doing your chores and shopping and what have your super efficient highway MPG isnt going to be nearly as relevant, and will consume a alot more gas.
Which makes electric, even charging off a tier 1 plugin charger, more viable I think, from a fuel perspective.

Even plugging into a normal 110V at home makes a difference.
The biggest thing people forget about EVs vs ICE is that you almost never leave home without a full tank.

I mean it is, cause everything I’ve seen says that fuel costs can be double to 4x what the power costs are for recharging for an average EV… Which, if you have a 2000 per year gas bill, will see a very significant reduction.
especially if you do a lot of stop and go driving, or short range trips (to and back from work, store, school, etc), where you’ll be guzzling gas far quicker than on perfect highway conditions.

We definitely don’t realize how often we sit idle at lights, etc. That destroys MPG in a gas vehicle. In an electric the vehicle doesn’t even lower the kWh since it’s not providing energy to the motor(s) while idle.
