Where I live (Ōtepoti Aotearoa) charging at a charging station works out to be about the same price as petrol
I have a plug in hybrid, and close to zero expertise, but I only charge at home, now
I am doubtful that an EV is remotely economical if you cannot charge it at home
That is basically correct in the US as well. Fast charging is about the same cost per mile as gasoline. If your only way to charge the car is with a fast charger, I recommend considering carefully whether it's the right choice for you. The improved driving dynamics may still be worth it, for sure, so it's a very personal choice -- rarely do big purchases like this come down entirely to the bottom line cost.
