In California my electricity to drive my Chevy Volt is more expensive than gasoline, if gasoline is less than $5 a gallon. So for basically the last 100k miles I've owned it, electricity was more expensive. The same goes for many plugin hybrids. Luxury EVs still win out because luxury sedans usually only get 25 mpg mixed max.

US fuel is so cheap compared to the rest of the world.

If my maths is correct, we are paying US$6.10 a gallon here in NZ.

I knew the CA grid was in a bad place but wow. What are you paying per kWh?
