The average cost per mile for an electric is about 8 cents, gasoline is about 16 cents. https://avt.inl.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/fsev/costs.pdf

Not sure what you're getting at.

It's a hell of a lot easier to install a charger in a parking lot than it is to install a gas station.

Also, there may be perks/subsidies offered by the local government for installing EV chargers.

You don't need an on-site gas station to let people expense gas. It's actually the opposite: employees generally expense things because they cannot get them on-site.

Definitely weirder. There is well-established precedent for expensing food, which matters. Also, food is a bare-necessity for staying alive while traveling on your company's behalf, so manipulating people's options there is bound to produce blowback.
