This map shows the cost of charging an EV at home across the U.S. Home-charging is significantly cheaper in all 50 states than fueling a car with gasoline.

@Sheril Living in Australia, this is a little different from the way people here think about it.
Buy a EV with range which only needs charging on weekends. Let the solar panels do that for you during the days when you are home. The grid needn't see a watt.
You're paying the bank about US$1000 a year for four years for the panels. So about US$19 per 'tank'. After that it is $0 for at least 10 years. That's ignoring any benefit from the reduction in home electricity use as seen by the grid meter.
