Even at $3/gallon it’s still $150, so that’s 50% more than the electric cost.
I also realize there may be other trade offs and costs involved. The energy cost was asked about so that’s what I answered.
FWIW: I own a 2017 Volt and love it. 50 miles all electric then another 350 or so ICE miles. Those 50 miles cover ~ 90% of its lifetime miles. Electric here is 0.11/kWh. I really wanted the flexibility of electric and gasoline having had reliability issues with both energy sources here in NC.
