Actually, the equivalent value was $17.33 per gallon, not per mile. I believe a lot of this cost was associated with Government subsides. The Government, for better or worse, subsides a lot of things, including your mortgage, if you have one. Regardless, I haven't looked into the assumptions that went into this number and whether they were realistic. Confirmation bias is something to avoid.

Will our electric grids be able to handle all of this, and if we’re so reliant on electricity in our daily lives a massive interruption, natural or terrorism, would shut us down. Too many unanswered questions and the outrageous cost of electric vehicles has put this “cart before the horse” technology in a bad light with the majority.
