I'm keeping the 10 cents because charging is only about 90% efficient.

I was just about going to say that. At 9¢ per kWh at 2 kWh per mile that's 4.5¢ per mile.
If you have electricity that's 9¢ per kWh and it's cheaper to use gasoline, you must have one extremely efficient gasoline engine and one extremely inefficient electric drive train.
Either that or you get your gasoline for free.
Here it's about 12¢ per kWh and rising.
