My 2023 Tesla Model 3 RWD averages about 4.28 miles per kWh, and my average cost per kWh when fast charging at Tesla Superchargers is $.036.

My average fast charger cost is about $0.1177 per mile, which would be $39.07 for 332 miles if only fast-charged.

However, I pay almost $0.10 per kWh for electricity at home, about $0.025 per mile, so I can drive 332 miles for about $8.30 using off-peak home charging.

At 33 mpg, your compact SUV needs about 10 gallons of gas, at $2.66 per gallon, equal to $26.60, to travel 330 miles.

At these costs, comparing these vehicles, fuel alone may be 30+% more for your Model 3 than your gas compact SUV when the EV is fast-charged.

While I'm pro-EV, I often suggest drivers only purchase an EV if they have readily available and affordable level two charging for most of their charging needs.

I suggest you chargeback your Turo customers' fuel costs. Rental car companies do.
