Agreed, most people don't really know how far an ev goes on a kWh. In my experience: Trucks average 15-20mpg. Evs average 2.5-4mi/kWh.

Let's take the high of the truck and the low of the ev for comparisons. 8.32/20=0.42/mile gasoline 0.42/2.5=0.17/mile electric

In my case both are cheaper as my fuel is~$4.30/gal, and the car I drive gets 38mpg. (0.11/mile) But also my electricity is 0.12/kWh and my electric car gets average 4mi/kWh. (0.03/mile)
