To refill the electric cost about $0.55 each night or about $2.50 for the same 4 1/2 trips. So if I made those trips every week for a month I would add $10 to my electric bill which is an amount I would not even notice.

And of course, the electric does not require a special trip to the electric station to refill, I just plug in the charger before walking into the house.
You don’t know that. Batteries don’t last maybe 5 to 8 years. You have to add that cost to equation not just charging batteries.
