Here's another one:

But seriously though, I haven't done any number crunching or anything, but what I do know for sure is that the same month I started using my EV I purchased a SunFrost refrigerator and freezer to replace my old combo fridge/freezer and my electric bill was still lower than before I had to charge the car every night. That, I think, is the beauty of an electric car: you can offset the electricity use in so many ways. Solar panels, wind power, changing to CFL bulbs, changing to LED bulbs, buying more efficient appliances, etc. Can't really do that with a gas car.....
