Exsctly. An EV really only makes sense if you can do the majority of charging at home. If you do charge at home, it will be much cheaper than gas in just about any location, especially if you have solar or buy low priced power at night.Yes, charging at home is usually cheaper, some people though have very high utility rates. Using my example above a utility rate of $0.40/kWh is the same as gas.
We are grid tied solar with 1:1 net metering. Our array covers 95% of our needs, including EV charging. The cost of the electricity from the array based on the cost of the array, it‘s lifespan and projected production is $0.07/kWh. So we are waaay cheaper.
