My rough calculation, from 3 years driving a Roadster, is about 1/4 the fuel cost of the Prius it replaced. Half of that is EV efficiencies, and the other half is 0% tax on electricity and 100% tax on petrol. That was based on what was taken from the wall, including some free public charging, as well as charging (cooling) losses.
 
You expect a 40% wastage?
Honestly, even at 100% wastage, it will still be a bargain!

Does any one know? Will Tesla answer that? HK Electric current tariff is HK$0.602 per kWh therefore to fill 85kWh it'll cost me $52. I don't know about wastage and I have heard that last few % of battery pack is hard to fill. Unless someone has a private meter and read kWh off after a charge I think this is still mystery.
 
So I've been asked a few times by friends and family and finally decided to calc it. The cost I get is approximately HK$100 to run 284KM. Which is close to what Lext had before on HK$120 to fill a the 85 battery (the 85 battery at 90% charge gives me 344 KM average range).

So $120/344 = $0.35/k, doesn't matter as long as it's zero emission. I would certainly do a long term tracking of the actual cost per km when I have my Tesla. I presume Tesla's supercharging station is free in Hong Kong?
