Love it! I’m one of the very few Ioniq 6 owners in the country (and soon to be fewer since they discontinued it).
The road tax should follow! Most of the cost fuel is to fix our crappy roads
Great now do it based on average fast charger prices
You should do a map that shows the savings not the current cost of a kilowatt
Prices would drop drastically if individuals were also allowed to also sell electricity to charge EVs but
someone’s profits apparently have to be protected
Could you show this as a ratio to average gas prices in each state?
Looks like it’s about half the cost since the average is closer to $4 now and $5-6 in California.
Would be interesting to see which states have a cheaper electric to gas ratio vs states that are closer in ratio.
It’s 2.24 in wi. Source I charge my car. Cx90 27 miles electric only and it gets 27 mpg gas only.
Eh, in California even PG&E’s EV charging rate is $0.23/kWh, which puts it at $1.99 in this infographic. Not great, but still not as bad as this infographic makes it out to be.

ugh…california leading the charge….as usual.
This however is a straight charge comparison. I drive lightly and if I drove an electrical equivalent, I would only charge the vehicle once or twice a month. Given the cost to charge, it would cost me about $7 per charge, so $15 a month. My power company however lets you charge at off peak hours and credits your bill, enough to cover a full charge. Essentially my cost per gallon equivalent with that program would be under $1/g comparison.
In Ontario if you charge at night and have time of use pricing you can get paid to charge your car thanks to chargers that pay out 10c/kwh thanks to carbon rebates.
That amount of additional power would not be supported by the grid. Not that there are enough EVs made to make this happen anytime soon. Power cost would go way up due to supply demand curve on the home electricity.
Also the Global Warning monetary savings would be astronomically high in dollars.
WA has to be the biggest winner here.
Top 3 most expensive gas in the country
Top 3 cheapest electricity in the country
Electricity prices have gone up around 5% since the whole Iran thing so not a super significant in case anyone was wondering.
For my state for example gas would cost ~2.5 times as much as electric now as opposed to 1.5 times prior to oil shock.
Remembering that’s for these 2 cars specifically. The elantra has very good gas mileage.
Where are Alaska and Hawaii?
I’m confused by this title. If gasoline was electricity? What does that mean? Why not just say “Electricy cost to charge an EV vehicule”?
I hike and camp and drive cross country multiple times a year, but I rarely drive locally day to day. Is this in anyway practical for me? Genuinely want to know.
In fairness, those are *average* rates, but anyone who is leveraging time of day charging would realistically be paying as low as $0.35 per gallon equivalent.
This is part of the reason that I hate EVs. I’m in California. And my electricity is already insane. Why would I want to quadruple my electricity cost?
The other reason is that I can’t even drive halfway to the other end of the state on a charge. I love road trips!
So I won’t be purchasing one anytime in the next 20 years, but thanks to all you early adopters, taking one for the team. I know we’ve gotta start somewhere on gas replacement.
Looks like a good deal for the 3 people in Louisiana who have an electric vehicle.
California is going all electric in 2030 btw
This must be based off supercharger rates? I lived in a state that shows $1.45, yet I paid .07 cents per Kw/h which translated to about 4 miles. So it was significantly cheaper.
I also currently live in a state that is showing as 10 cents cheaper, but my Kw/g here is double what I paid in the “more expensive” state.
It should be a law that maps of the US should show all of the US.
It’s criminal what they charge for electricity in California, especially considering how much effort they’ve put into pushing electrification.
I didn’t realize my state was more EV friendly than California. This is wild.
I wish the graphic included what the milage, fuel tank size/battery kWh for each car was for those not inherently aware.
The shitty thing is a lot of these states are imposing an EV tax when getting tags. It’s supposed to make up for not paying the gas tax which fund the roads, but you’d have to drive a shit load of miles to make it equate to what the total gas tax would be.
Look, we all need to pay taxes to upkeep and EVs should have a tax, but it shouldn’t be a deliberate gouge on EV owners. If ICE owners can pay based on mileage then EV owners should too.
I like the straightforward comparison of Elantra to Ioniq, but driving an Elantra I know it is vastly more fuel efficient (40+ mpg highway) than most American vehicles, 80% of which sold today are SUVs or pickup trucks. Most people would probably see a wider gap depending on the size of ICE car they drive, and the size of EV they choose.
Would you be able to make something similar for Canada? I’m really curious to see how we stack up.
