divide kwh used by number of miles driven times price per kwh.
In the past 4 months:
1092 miles were driven
258 kwhwere used during this period
electric cost from SECO was approx $.13 per kwh
258 / 1092 x .13 = 3 cents per mile

I had a hard time with algebra and am not mathemetician by any stretch, but is that not correct ?

KWH used to charges our batteries are measured by a meter like the one on the outside of your house, only smaller. SECO has them for sale. It's called a kill a watt, about $25 from SECO power store here:
