Do you have a source on that because the national average is 0.35¢ per kWh for DC fast charging. That means to completely charge the avarage ev battery (71.8kWh) would cost $25.13. The national average for gas is $3.62 as of today meaning it would cost an average car (13 gallon tank) a whopping $47.02 to fill up.
Are those approximations equivalent for miles traveled?
Yes, even the worst EV for efficiency gets 50MPGe which is double the national average for MPG.
In other words, even in the most expensive to operate EV you would be paying half the cost per mile over driving an average ICE vehicle.
Also the problem is no ev is affordable at all the are double the price.
