Eh, the cheaper than home charging happened at the end of the year. For about a year before that, home charging EVs were cheaper. This is because gas prices hit a low point then. The national gas price average has been climbing since the ICE car was cheaper, and their costs will be higher than the EV charging at home now.
I have questions about the study. I get the dead head charges being higher for the commercial charging than gas. Part of it has to do with availability difference between the two; that should improve for the chargers over time. I do wonder how they factor the wait time into a cost, and does it consider that the driver can be running an errand during that time?
How did they calculate the charger cost? Was it spread out over 12,000 miles of one year, or the the expected service life. If charger costs for the public ones included, where are the costs of the gasoline dispensing equipment?
