Wife wants: SUV, hybrid - no trucks allowed, no domestics allowed, "not too big" whatever that means.
I want: towing, decent driving experience. It basically came down to the Cayenne hybrid or the X5 hybrid, and she thinks the X5 size is too large

3kw charging Cayenne: 37c/km because $2/hr, max out at 3kw, 66c/kw, 1kw = 1.6km or so.
5 hour topup for 30km.
7kw charging Cayenne: 18c/km because $2/hr, you get 6kw at most station, 33c/kw
3 hour topup for 30km.
60kw DCFC Mercedes: 16-20c/km with 35c/kw at BCHydro, 27c/kw at Tesla
30 minute topup for 80km.

I have a wild idea.. that is definitely not environmentally friendly.. but the value prop is in the savings
2025 Cayenne E-Hybrid ranges from 150K -160K per AutoTrader. A 2021/2020 goes for around 60-70K.
An X5 35d goes for around $30K. According to fuelly, it ~ 9L/100km. Diesel and premium gas (91) prices are more or less the same (within a 10c var). Without doing the math, you'd save on the actual purchase cost of the vehicle (~30-40K) and per tank cost (~8L/100km).
@AstulzerRZD can you pls do the math?
Edit: I'm finding it hard to find the electric/hybrid cost savings.
I did my own math. $4113 for 24, 713 km = $0.16/km ... on my CTR.
