Hmmm,

Let's see.

My Tesla has a 100 kWh battery pack and when fully charged can go roughly 300 miles at 70 mph down the freeway.

Electrical power costs at one of my friends house I visit from time to time:

Rate Schedule 1 (residential)
Monthly Basic charge	$16.60
Energy Charge	2.8¢ per kWh

chelanpud.org

So if I charge up my battery at her house completely from dead the grid cost for electrons would be about $3.00 to fully charge the battery.

Roughly 300 miles at 70 MPH for $3.00.

Can your gas car do that?

Nope

Impossible

By the way I charge my car at home with my PV array.

No fossil fuels, no grid required....

P.S.

My friend also drives a Model S.
