EV's aren't practical for most people. The Tesla fanclub will argue you to death but it's the truth.
If I could get one at a reasonable price I'd probably be game. I need it to get me to work and back (120 miles) and charge overnight at home I think it would work out nicely. Less maintenance. No gas station visits. I haven't compared the electric rate (at home) vs gas but I'd imagine it to be cheaper at the moment.
But I wouldn't be getting it to "save the earth." Toyota is right: you'd get way more "bang for your buck" environmentally if we focused on hybrids.

Spot on. EV’s work fine for people with chargers at home and short commutes who also have an ICE vehicle in the household for road trips/power outages.
It’s a good chance to save some gas money but yeah the last thing on most people’s mind right now is the environmental factor.
PHEV’s will be the stop gap for the next 20 years

120 miles total or each way? If the first, most EVs these days would easily get you there. Even with the second, many would be fine as well.

I don't even have a EV preferred charging rate(multiple reasons), but my kwh is $0.10 per kwh. Depending on your EV, (like a model s long range is a 100kw battery for a 350+ miles range) or something like the f150 lightning extended range(131kwh battery for 300ish miles range). No ones is charging from 0-100%, but point being that equates to a $10-13 cost per "fill up". Many of the EV charging rates are 0.02-0.04 per kwh for off peak charging. So yeah pretty cheap.
Of course none of that factors the extra cost of the vehicle, cost od charger and installation etc etc. Which there are rebates to defray the cost.
