If you are charging at home on a smart tariff, then your overall fuel costs compared to ICE is very low, even with the odd long trip and exorbitant public charging fees.
I’ve done 10,000 miles in my Ioniq 5 84kw AWD this year, that includes two long trips of around 2000 in total, one to the lake district and one to the South of England from NE Scotland. My total “fuel” bill is just under £500. Your bill in your 1.2 petrol 500 mile for £60 car is £1200. My car’s average consumption is 3.2 m/kw, but I don’t drive below 70 on main dual/motorway routes, usually sit at 75 or above. All my refuelling was done at Tesla (without subscription) except one Gridserve fill in Ashford, Kent (no nearby Tesla units).
We’ve also done a lot of 2-300 mile jaunts where I’ve just charged up, driven to the likes of Glasgow and back (240 mile trip) and arrived home with plenty left. I was surprised at one such trip in summer, covered 265 miles and arrived home with 84 miles left. Admittedly it was hot, the route was mostly 60mph A & B quiet Scottish roads, but still impressed).
Your example is also flawed if you have home charging, you set off full, so your first 200-250 miles are covered by your initial £5.60 home fill.
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
