eGallon demonstrates how much it costs to consume drive an electric vehicle compared with covering the same distance in a gasoline powered combustion engine. It is almost 3 times cheaper to run on electricity: an eGallon is $1.18 on average (compared to $3.49 for gasoline) and an eGallon is $1.26 in Maryland (compared to $3.52 for gasoline).
