How much did you spend on gas for that week? In Europe, from what I've heard, you would break even at 2 or maybe 3 tanks of gas.

    If you’re a tourist you also need to factor time into that. Since time is at a premium. 5 minutes at the gas station vs 20 minutes waiting to charge makes a lot more of a difference on a trip.

    But we're also talking about Europe vs. North America, where there is a good chance your destination is within a charge of wherever you're staying, in which case just charging at or near your hotel costs basically nothing.
