How much are these Americans paying for their electricity? I recently got a PHEV, and if I add up what I pay in petrol with what my charger tells me I used in electricity, it's about the same as my old petrol car. I guess it's impressive that a 2020 SUV is costing the same to run as a 2012 hatchback, but I'm not seeing running on electric to be much of a cost saver.

A year ago it was 4 cents a kilowatt, now it's 9 cents.

Mines apparently 0.37 USD per kWh. I notice we're not using the same units and I don't know if that matters. Also that's not counting the standing charge of 0.60 USD per day.
