Full disclosure
I have left out winter driving and my daily short city drives.
(both are at extremes above or below my longer drives)
So in my case my car which can run gas or electric has hypermiling efficiencies of
210MPGe vrs 52MPG
My cost per mile off local prices is
12kwhr x 9.8 cents = $1.176
$1.176 / 65 miles = 1.8 cents per mile
$2.19 / 52 = 4.2 cents per mile
So
1.8 cents EV. Vrs 4.2 cents gas
Your mileage will vary, I recommend plugging in different distances and your local prices depending on how you plan to drive to see the price extremes between gas and electric for your type of commute.
