Price: Gas vs. Electricity Electricity price varies by state yet is still very inexpensive compared to gasoline Charging during off-peak hours (evening/night) can be half the price of on-peak (daytime) charging Cost per mile to drive electrically is a fraction of the cost compared to gasoline Kilowatt Hours is the main unit of measurement vs. gallons of gasoline Electricity rates are more stable than fluctuating fuel prices

Electricity Generation – Diversity Among States Source: Energy Information Administration

Electricity Generation – Diversity Among States Electricity is generated in a number of ways and varies by state Diversity of electricity generation is a function of what natural resources exist in a particular area With grid management, the electric grid can handle millions of EVs In many regions, “green” electricity made from renewable sources is becoming more available Electricity is largely generated domestically and doesn’t rely heavily on importing foreign oil
