For example, my Honda Element gets about 20 mpg, so to go 100 miles is 5 gallons. At $4 a gallon, that's $20.
If your car gets 33 mpg, then it would cost you $12 in gas to go 100 miles.
Our Tesla Model 3 uses about 260wh per mile or about 4 miles per kwh (each kwh = 1000wh). So it would take me 25 kwh to go 100 miles. At 15 cents per kw, that's $3.75.
Our Tesla Model Y uses about 290wh per mile or about 3.5 miles per kwh. So to go 100 miles, that's about 28.5 kwh to go 100 miles which would cost about $4.25.
I've driven the Model 3 about 750 miles in a day and felt that stopping to go to the bathroom and stretch my legs every 3.5 hours was perfect keep my energy level up. And of course Autopilot made a huge difference too in arriving refreshed (or at least not exhausted). Usually between eating and going to the bathroom, the car was ready to go charge-wise before I was done with my break!
If I may ask, do you have battery failure anxiety? I hope that's not a dumb question, but I know that when it happens it's very expensive. Thanks for your time.
They've ruined any possibility at any kind of EV standardization, starting with their chargers and battery designs that are part of the chassis (take a look at a disassembly video and you'll see that this would be impossible to do with a Tesla).
On a broader scale, the charging aspect isn't necessarily the issue. It's more of a case of not having an infrastructure that was in any way forward thinking.
I mean, you have homes built all the way into the 80s that aren't even pre-wired to support electric stoves and dryers, let alone a 3-phase charger.
In order to have a battery swap station, you're still going to have to have infrastructure that can charge the batteries. You'd also have to figure out what an appropriate duty cycle looks like, as current battery technology doesn't hold up when placed on constant charge (this could be as simple as "calling ahead" to reserve a battery, but we don't even have cell service built up enough to support this).
Another argument that now seems reasonable after all the catalytic converter thefts we've seen is how do you prevent your EV battery from getting stolen while simultaneously making it easy enough to swap?
I can cite studies showing the net environmental benefits of using EVs, but you and your small brain won't be able to understand any of those. Keep praying to your "god" - I'm sure he'll fix your problems, I'll actually do something.
It's OK to support the 900 billion dollars going to the military industrial complex, but god forbid $7500 for EVs to help less people get asthma.
where did I ever say anything about the MIC? that is irreverent to the discussion. You can be for fossil fuels and against the MIC at the same time.

While conceptually, hydrogen engine seems like a winner, it still is ICE - which means oil changes and other headaches. EV might really be the future - lots of money invested in battery technology right now - which may make your wish true.
But nobody's gonna invest those $ if ppl are not buying electric. So just like you, I'm waiting, but hoping that ppl keep on buying EVs, and funding battery research.
EVs and hybrids use brakes far less than traditional vehicles.
I've never seen big trucking at charging stations. What's the point?
