dpeends on the car. My Zoe does 4.8 miles per kwhr, my old car does 35 miles per gallon (or 7.6 miles per litre) petrol is currently £1.6 a litre.

Which is 21p per mile, for my petrol car

at 98p a kwhr its 20p per mile.

but in practice the electric car is 3 pence a mile for me (average car charging price for me is 15p a kwhr)

Of course, thats why I've been clear all my assumptions are for 260wh/mi, which I think is a very fair middle ground figure to compare to a 35mpg car - one can pick far more fuel efficient gas cars for this comparison too, the possibilities are endless.

I think your numbers still illustrate the same point though; if you can't charge at home, an EV is not necessarily cheaper to fuel, and the gap between the public charger price and the cost to a private consumer with home charging is still far too big. 98p vs 15p is staggering.

oh yeah sorry it was meant to illustrate your point, that some of those fast chargers are massive piss takes.
