When charging at home I pay $0.05/kWh. That is only if I charge outside Midnight to 6:00am where I get 400kWh per month for $0.00 cost through my EMC charge plan. In my commuting (90% of my driving) I get between 2.7m and 3.0m/kWh.
I also charge for free at work during the week. This reduces most of my commuting miles to $0.00.
So, over the 3,800 miles I've put on my vehicle, the price you quote is nearly my entire electricity cost for those miles.

I've had about 16months of living with a PHEV, pure electric range is about 42miles which kinda covers local drives (not that I drive much).. I only charge at home after midnight. Longer journeys, the engine kicks in with some regenration extending the range, say I did a 200mile trip, 80/90 miles can be had on electric..
I'm now thinking that I should have gone full electric, fancy making a trip my local Apline showroom, liking the sound of the a290.
