I don't have our numbers, but I was filling up one of our cars every week, $50 or so to fill the tank. We sold one of the gas cars, bought an electric, and if we use that a lot, I only had to fill the gas car once a month, and the power bill went up $20.
For us, that was useful. We've been driving the gas car more and more miles overall lately, so we're buying more gas for the car, but it's still less than we had been spending.
Electric vehicles have their place, but aren't for everybody. It depends on your commute, can you charge at home or somewhere, where else you go, and if you have or can rent a second car for those trips too far for the electric. Hubby also has an electric motorcycle and that's his first choice when we go out. We will choose routes that include charging for an hour or so at a lunch stop. If we go on a non-friendly route he'll take the gas bike, but he prefers the electric given any chance.
