Ok so now I am over the price per year on the used van although I also looked up 2018 Pacifica Hybrids under 40,000 miles and they are more like $30,000 not $25,000. I'm sure a dealer would give $25,000 trade allowance on one with under 30,000 miles.
Either was a 2021 Pacifica is 100% nicer than a 2011 Town and Country.

You reversed the math on that last step.
36 miles / 16 kWh = ~2 miles per kWh
$0.10 per kWh / 2 miles per kWh = $0.05 per mile (not $0.18).
I'm keeping the 10 cents because charging is only about 90% efficient.
As long as you're only charging with 120v, you can monitor consumption with this cheap monitor. Good to have anyhow so you can check other appliances in your house.
