Just took Model Y on a 3,605 mi road trip. Wanted to see what the worst case might look like for charging costs. 5 passengers total, fully loaded frunk and trunk, we drove as fast as conditions allowed and hit several rain storms, used heavy A/C, kids playing video games from the 12v socket, mini fridge running, sentry mode, cabin overheat protection, and even had a hitch-mounted cargo rack with a spare tire strapped to it. We took advantage of free charging when it was convenient, paid for L2 charging when needed, but supercharged for the vast majority

The jaw-dropping economics of electric trucking

The retail price of a semi-truck is often discussed when comparing diesel vs. electric, however the potential disparity becomes far less relevant when the economics of operation are concerned. Take a typical diesel truck, hauling a typical load, with typical fuel prices. Currently, the average cost of diesel in the U.S. is $4.993 per gallon, including taxes.
