My rough estimation, based on SECO’s 11 cents per KWH, and using the amount of recharging the owner’s manual says I can get, works out to TWO CENTS PER MILE. For electricity. I doubt that this costs me more than about $5 a month. Meanwhile, after four years in The Villages, not needing the gas engine very often, and with almost 50,000 miles on the car, its gas usage works out to 150 MPG. Not bad.
