There is no way to check pricing at a local supercharger unless you own a Tesla. Tesla shows current pricing per station on the navigation screen in the car or in the Tesla app. Supercharger pricing varies by station and by time of day. Just like with commercial and residential time-of-use electricity pricing you will pay more at a Supercharger on peak rates than on off-peak. It seems that Supercharger rates vary from about $0.25 and $0.50 per kWh.
Tesla going 4 miles / kWh would be spending $0.063 per mile at the base rate and $0.125 per mile at the peak rate.
A hybrid that goes 52 miles on a $3.85 gallon of gas is spending $0.074 per mile
I agree with oil pan, unless you can charge at home or work driving an EV doesn't make sense. Relying on DC charging all the time is expensive and a hassle. A friend of mine bought a Tesla Model X planning to charge once a week at a supercharger. That got old really quick and when her lease was up she moved to an apartment with chargers.
