$0.50 per mile for electricity for a semi truck? wow, lower than I would imagine. (and it can be as low as $0.12 where rates are lower.).
"During testing, the truck averaged 1.72 kWh per mile while hauling a gross combined weight of 75,000 pounds (34 metric tons) over a 390-mile (625 km) long-haul route."
a tesla model 3 is ~0.3 kWh per mile.
