I’m not asking for a math problem. I’m assuming someone in here fits that profile and can just answer from experience.

Is it really saving any money vs paying $150 - $200/month for gas?

Not asking to make a dig at EV. I’m really curious.
I live in California where Premium gas is roughly $5.50 per gallon. I drive 1,500 a month.

I don’t drive Honda Civics or Toyota Camry’s. When I was commuting in my M3 I was spending roughly $400 a month on gas.

When I got the Model Y, I would charge on a regular 120 plug in outlet which took over 30 hours and supercharge as needed. This averaged me in $150 price hike on my utility bill per month and roughly $150-200 in supercharge charges each month.

Now that my i7 comes with free unlimited charging, there is not point charging at home when there is a charger at my gym, which I go daily and spend over an hour there.

To answer your question, the answer is ZERO

My charges are from. Idle fees that I let the car sit at an EA station over 10 min.
