I pay $345/month for my car loan, $10/year to rotate the tires and top off the fluids, and $0.18/kWh to charge because I have a 100% renewable energy plan at home, I paid ~$1000 for the level 2 charger and install. I haven't seen a change in my electric bill or usage, in fact I had to ask my wife when we bought her car because it wasn't as obvious as I thought it would be on my electric company's usage graph. My wife's car came with 3 years free at Electrify America which got us from Texas to California and back without needing to pay for charges the whole way, and it takes something like 30 mins to top up which was fine because I needed to walk the dog and stretch my legs.
