The real question is will your gasoline bill decrease significantly? It depends on your driving, area of the country, and weather.

Let's assume you are average

• Drive 1,250 miles a month
• Have a gasoline vehicle getting 30 mpg
• Buy an EV with with consumption of 3.5 miles/kWh
• Pay the average 13.7 cents per kWh for electricity
• Pay the average $4.22 per gallon of regular

	Gasoline	Electric
Miles per month	1,250	1,250
'Fuel' Consumed	41.7 gallons	357 kWh
Cost of 'Fuel'	$175.94	$48.92
	Gasoline bill drops by $175.94	Electric light bill rises by $48.92

If you are average, you will save about $125 per month. Of course, if you are sharing your electric bill with a room mate, you may have to make some arrangements to be fair.

My calculations are similar. Cost of gas is higher ($4.72 at Sam's cllub), and electricity is lower (about $.11 per kwh - but increasing lately). My estimated cost of equivalent gas is about $25 per month. However, when I plug in at home, I'm charging off my solar panels. Although it takes a bite out of my home electricity savings, it's essentially free to charge up my Bolt.
