The recent article about costs associated with electric vehicles got me wondering (“Clearing the air: Figuring out the costs of owning an electric vehicle,” Aug. 3).
According to the report, a Tesla Model 3 has a range of 114 miles; I regularly get approximately 250 miles on a charge. You also failed to mention that many (if not most) EV owners charge at home, not at a charging station. Your article might have broken down the “fueling/charging” column in your chart to reflect this, as home electricity is more like 16 cents/kWh vs the 28 cents market rate cited.

We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
For those stories that we do enable discussion, our system may hold up comments pending the approval of a moderator for several reasons, including possible violation of our guidelines. As the Maine Trust’s digital team reviews these comments, we ask for patience.
Comments are managed by our staff during regular business hours Monday through Friday and limited hours on Saturday and Sunday. Comments held for moderation outside of those hours may take longer to approve.
