I keep loose tabs on our usage at different milestones...
The screenshot below was taken at 18,890 miles and shows 5,617khw of electricity used. I've measured my charging loss to be around 18-20%, so we've purchased 6,700kwh.
My rate is $0.11, so $740 to travel those 18,890 miles. The ICE car that we replaced would have used about $2,800 to $3,000 to travel the equivalent. Not a huge savings, but definitely noticeable in our budget. This also doesn't count that we would have also had 2-3 oil changes in that time.
An intangible bonus here is that the ICE car would have soaked up quite a bit of time for fueling and oil changes, but it only takes a few seconds to plug the tether in once in awhile.
Regarding efficiency though...that 297 number is in Wh/mile. The rated number is 242Wh/mi, but we drive a little fast and like the zing the accelerator pedal a lot...
