That seems much better miles/kWh than other EVs. Quick bit of Googling says a bit over 3 miles/kWh for the Tesla S, about the same for a Chevy Volt in EV mode. Which at current gas & electric prices hereabouts makes them more expensive per mile than my Insight.

If I was paying for electricity it would be $0.02 per mile. However, my work has free EV charging so the fuel is free.
Not free, you've just gotten your employer to give it to you as a perk, no different than if they let you fill up at the company gas pump.
