I have had my Bolt for about 2.5 months now. I have put on 6500 miles, which puts me right on track for my 30k miles/yr expectation.
My vehicle, via the never reset trip meter, reports 2.5 mi/kwh average. That equates to 2600kwh. During that time, we had multiple days of -30F and a high of +40F. I would estimate the average has been ~+10F.
My charger also reports its lifetime kwh and it is at 1400kwh. I was a week or two late to get it installed, so I would guess lifetime electric for this car is more like 1600kwh from my pocket. The rest of my charging is free public chargers, near work and class.
I'm on a TOU plan with my electric provider. Offpeak is $0.049/kwh, with on and critical being higher. Last month my blended car rate was $0.055/kwh. So, I've spent $88 to go 6500 miles, or $0.0135/mile or $135/10k miles.
I have been charging to a certain percent at home, generally 85 or 90, and to 100% while away. Now that temperatures are coming up and range with it, I will be able to reduce my home charging while relying more on the charger near work. I expect that out of pocket costs to dip under $0.01/mile for me.
Even if I had no away charging, I still would have paid only $0.022/mile or $220/10k miles.
Compare that to a Prius getting 46mpg @ $2.30/gal, would be $0.5/mile or $500/10k miles.
Even though my performance numbers are likely near the worst compared to the rest of you, my awesome electric rate makes up for a lot of cost. At the current rates, I'm saving over $100/month parking the Prius. That is a powerful statement of not just the effectiveness of electric cars, but the value of Time of Use Plans.
For anyone who wants more numbers, last month we used 1137kwh charging both cars (Bolt + Volt), the geothermal heat pump drew 1980 kwh, and the rest of the house 790kwh.
