I'm a clear outlier but my apartment is near charging stations where I can charge for free. I just hit 700 miles on my new Bolt EUV and have so far managed to pay nothing for electricity.

But if I did have to pay, I believe my apartment charges $0.30 per kWh. And I get 4.5 miles of range per kWh. So it's $6 to drive 100 miles. Gas is over $4/gallon here so a car that gets 33 mpg would spend over $12 to go 100 miles.

If I was paying $0.125 per kWh like I've seen other people report in this thread then I'd spend $2.50 to go 100 miles.

that was not my experience. I rented a model 3. drove it around Boston for 1 day. Paid $16 in charging cost from tesla supercharging station.

$16 in my ICE camry will take me a lot further.

A Tesla Model 3 uses roughly 160Wh/km and has a 75-82kWh battery pack. You can easily do the math. I think you'll be surprised.

I doubt that is true. My small box fan uses 100wh next to my computer. How can three times that energy push a car and four people around for one kilometer? An RC toy car would struggle to do 1 kilometer on 180w battery. You are a blatant tesla shill

Well I used my real-world driving numbers in my post. Here's a photo I took this morning showing how many miles I get per kWh since getting my Bolt EUV. I don't know what was going on with your Tesla.
