for the car if it ran on gasoline and get an equivalent number of gallons of fuel. Take the miles you get on that $ amount of electricity and wala, miles per gallon.
I don't know what the range of that $3 overnight charge is, but suppose it's 40 miles...a very optimistic range. Sooo, call gasoline $4/gal, therefore that $3 charge was the equivalent of .75 gallons. 40 miles/(3/4 gallon) =160/3 or approximately 53mpg to get the same range.
If gasoline is twice as expensive, you'd still go 40 miles on the $3 of electricity, but you'd have to get 106mpg.
If you double the range, $4/gal, 80mile range, you're at 100mpg+ right quick.
