I think you will find it simpler to use cost/mile. A Model 3 goes about 4 EPA miles per kWh; A Texas Supercharger use is about 1 kwh/12 cents You end up paying about 3 cents a mile from a Supercharger in Texas at EPA speeds I gather that home electricity is ~ 8 cents a kWh...

I wonder if a better approach would be to apply a “range charging” surcharge that ~doubles the cost of electricity over 80%. Might be more effective and equitable than the current approach, although the level of pearl clutching would likely be even higher. Actually it already does that ...
