I'm guessing in place not B.C, those power bills must be insane. I mean in my completely uneducated on the subject brain, EV owner has to be more expensive overall than I.C.E..

In B.C I can see it being cheaper.

Right now you can sign up for a fixed power price of ~$0.10/KWh on Enmax (i'm actually only paying $0.065/kWh).

My car has a 100 kWh battery, so I can get a "Full tank" for about 7 bucks, which gets me ~400 km of range.
(it'll be a bit more than that as it isn't 100% efficient of course.
But yeah, overall, it's way cheaper for me to charge my car at home than it is to buy gas.

Even if I had to charge at a DC/Fast charger it'll cost me somewhere between $40-60.
So yeah, it's a lot cheaper to fuel up an EV vs an ICE.
