Bob22 posted a guys fact check of the MEME. Beyond the insanity of fact checking a MEME the guy seemed to know his stuff:
No, an F-350 towing a horse trailer isn't cheaper to run than an electric car. Here's the math to prove it.

Here's my response to the fact check:
Seriously? This clown fact checks a MEME and then cries that the MEME exaggerates the point!?! Oh you should see my shocked face!
So let's consider what the fact check turned up:
The verdict? 3.59 hours — or 3 hours and 36 minutes to most humans. That’s less than half of what our sensationally misleading meme claims. At Electrify America’s $0.32-per-minute rate, that comes out to $68.93 for a full charge. With the Hummer’s claimed 320-mile range, that’s a mere $0.225 per mile — for our absolute, nearly impossible, worst-case scenario.
Just for kicks, a Ford Super Duty seems to average around 10 to 11 mpg while towing a heavy trailer. In Texas, the current average fuel price for 87 octane is $3.855 per gallon. That’s $0.35 per mile, more expensive than our hypothetically cursed electron-guzzling EV.
So, instead of eight hours it will only take three and a half hours to charge the EV. Wow what a relief. I hope the charging station has a good restaurant I can kill that time in.
And the Fact Checker shows that it would only cost $70 to get this charge not $154. This would allow the EV to go 320 miles according to the fact checker.
My 160,000 mile 4WD Ford Explorer gets 20 mpg mixed city/highway driving and has an 18 gallon tank. So with gas at $4.40 per gallon It would cost me $79 to fill my tank from empty. I could drive at least 360 miles on that $79 tank of gas. That comes out to $0.22 per mile.
And a $4.40 gas price is artificially inflated by at least one dollar per gallon by Biden's policies. If gas was at $2.50 per gallon my per mile cost would be a little over HALF what the fact checker claimed for his EV. And I could fill my tank up in less then 5 minutes!
