    Going on previous things I’ve seen, this must be from using public/fast chargers that have jacked up rates. Charging at home has always been vastly cheaper than gas.

      But this is saying that, in Washington for example, you would save $80 charging an electric truck vs filling up a truck with gas

        Easily. I have a model 3 and save about $40/m over a Prius and $80/m over a similarly powerful car. I’d imagine a truck would be even more skewed towards the EV.

      The stipulation in the article was basically as long as you don’t use level 3 chargers for the majority of your charging it’s cheaper.

      Longer road trips using level 3 charging was pretty much the only scenario where gasoline was cheaper.
