It is actually 5.6 times more money per mile, because the power companies
offer a huge discount for recharging overnight. In Atlanta, the power
company estimates it costs $19 a month to charge an electric car versus
$107 per month for a gasoline car. See:

As I mentioned, in parts of Texas the cost is $0.00 per month. Granted,
they also charge a flat fee for electricity, but the incremental additional
cost of charging an electric car at night is zero. You can't beat that! The
oil companies cannot compete with that. Which is why they will not be
selling gasoline cars much longer. People will not pay for Exxonmobil for
something that the power company gives you for free.
