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.

You’re not going to find anyone in this forum who fits the bill - because you’d have to be a financial lunatic to charge outside the home 100% of the time without a free incentive period. On SC it’s about 60% the cost of gasoline. On these shell enabled chargers it’s the same if not more than equivalent gasoline.
I’ve seen other forums where someone was living off the SC as an Uber driver. They were about that 60% number.
The TCO gets smashed vs a hybrid or low cost efficient petrol/gas vehicle when you exclusively charge outside the home unless you qualify for a tax credit and/or you live in a place with a huge delta in electricity and fuel cost.
