$5000 of solar panels in the office parking lot and you get almost 0 draw from the grid for the commute.
I guess that doesn't compare favorably to $600 (~200*$3) per year for fuel, but it isn't real far out either.

I still think the bigger bottleneck will be the installation of chargers, though, even though it shouldn't be because they aren't that expensive. But Tesla is just one small car maker installing its own, and the other manufacturers don't seem all that interested in building them for the same reason they've been rather slow in pushing EVs on the market, too. I think governments should have a bigger role in building EV infrastructure.

How do I collect?
There's an implicit requirement for a useful prediction of the price in the GP comment.
But yes who knows...coming regulations may change that number significantly.

I would certainly factor the different cost structures in if I was doing the calculation for real (gas could be $4 in a couple years, who knows).
