A lot less than your gas bill would have been.
I used to drive the F-250/F-350 to work every day: $350+ a month in gas bills
Then I started driving a gas Focus to work every day (30 mpg): $120 a month in gas
Then I started driving an electric Focus to work every day: $50 a month in electricity (we got a 2nd meter just for the car)
The Bolt's electric bill is about the same as the Focus was (for a similar commute of about 1000 miles a month).
To be fair: The 2nd meter is on an EV charging rate with our supplier--overnight they charge a lot less than daytime (overnight is something like $0.038/kWh and daytime is $0.15/Kwh)
