The cost comparison between charging an electric vehicle (EV) and filling up a traditional IC engine vehicle depends on various factors including prices, the efficiency of the vehicles, and the distance covered. In general, charging an EV tends to be more cost-effective than filling up a gas tank for several reasons:

1. Lower Fuel Costs: Electricity is cheaper than gasoline on a per-mile basis.

2. Stable Electricity Prices - Electricity prices tend to be more stable than gasoline prices

3. Energy Efficiency: EVs are more energy-efficient because electric motors convert a higher percentage of energy from the grid to power

4. Home Charging: Many EV owners charge their vehicles at home

Also, some regions offer incentives or rebates for purchasing EVs or installing home charging equipment, further reducing the overall cost of ownership.

However, it's important to note that the cost comparison can vary based on factors such as local electricity and gasoline prices, the specific models of the vehicles, the driving habits of the owner, and potential additional costs like home charging equipment installation.

Not in Australia where they have added so much solar they're electricity market is in complete chaos. Prices range from free to paying people to use electricity at the peak of day time solar production to charging 44 cents a kwh in the evenings. I never had a gas station pay me to take gasoline then charge me $20 a gallon several hours later.
For me I pay about 9 cents a kwh, day or night. Windy or not.
