With your electrical company's incentive pricing factored in, it will cost you roughly 1 cent per mile to drive the Tesla Roadster.** But the incentives don't stop there. Depending on where you live, other bonuses may include:
Single-occupancy access to all carpool lanes
Income tax credit (awaiting new legislation)
A luxury car that's fully exempt from the luxury car tax
Free parking at charging stations at LAX
No parking meter fees in an increasing number of major metropolitan areas

Nothing concrete as far as $ per kwh they are using for their calculations or what they consider "electical company's incentive pricing"
Right now, for me:
$0.22 per mile
Tesla (from their website)
$0.01 per mile
Hell, even if it's $0.05 per mile that's a helluva a lot of savings in consumables not to mention no oil changes, tune ups and other maintenance work associated with internal combustion engines.
