"I paid 43 cents/kWh last month"

I live in the Bay Area as well and I have an EV (2015 Fiat 500e), and am on the PG& Home Charging EV2-A plan. I charge my car between 12am and 3pm and pay $0.28/kwh, 29kwh/100 miles and I should be getting about 12.3miles/$.

I think it's always instructive to break out all the costs of owning a car on a per mile basis.

I but about $700/year in gasoline. And pay about $600/year insurance. And drive about 6500 miles a year.

So insurance and gas are both about 10 cents a mile. I think depreciation and maintenance are higher at about 15 cents/mile. So 50 cents a mile. IRS says a business can write off 67 cents a mile.
