(But that one won't go 30 miles on a charge.)
And even if your electric car
only costs $1000, it'll still take a very long time to pay for itself.
And if it's an
additional car, as opposed to a replacement of your existing gasser, the extra insurance, licence and incidental maintenance items will definitely negate any savings.
To answer your original question:
9 cents / kWh for renewably sourced electricity here (Ontario). Not counting various delivery, public debt retirement, admin charges on the electricity bill, etc.
The ForkenSwift has gone just over 5,000 km (3k mi.) since the conversion on a total electricity cost of ~
$83.58.
