Wikipedia says that the Volt has a 16 kWh battery pack, of which it can use 10.3 kWh. The Nissan Leaf has a 23 kWh battery, and the Tesla Model S can be equipped with up to an 85kWh battery pack. If we say that power is 10 cents a kWh on average, a full charge on a Tesla Model S uses $8.50 worth of power, which theoretically is enough to drive about 500 km. My Kia Rondo, as an alternative example, uses about $50-60 worth of gas to drive 500 km.
