In Chicago area for anyone wondering using the Walmart charging network. This is about ~13% capacity, wasn’t really low started charging at about 70%.

Would also note that this charger was 47¢/kwh. That’s $0.134/mile - very close to the gas calc you did
So OP is talking about spending only $4 to top up, but that’s basically the equivalent of buying a gallon of gas at this energy price. Basically you need to charge at home to get the pricing benefits over gas.
Obviously a bunch of other benefits to EVs
With other benefits you mean like no oil changes or longer lasting brake disks and pads?
Yeah and better for GHGs obviously
And depending on use case, can be more convenient than gas - if you only have a basic commute and can charge at home. But gas may still be more convenient for some people (long distance in rural or remote areas for example; apartment living for another)
