Assuming one's home already has grid electricity, the fixed fees are a fact of life. What counts is the incremental cost of the added electricity used by owning an electric car. Otherwise to be fair, the extra tax one pays to subsidize the oil industry directly as well as to pay the huge cost for the constant wars in the middle east should also be added to the $/gallon of gasoline used.
