I don't drive EVs unless I know I'll have extra cheap charging.
M340i is 28mpg highway, $3.8/gal = 13c/mi
EV6 RWD gets 2.9 mi / kWh at 130km so .48c/kWh at Electrify America = 16c/mi
That's AUD so knock about 10% to go to CAD, or 40% to go to USD. So 58c AUD = 0.36 USD. There was cheaper charging (5-10%) if you did the subscription/post-paid account but I didn't bother.

Gas would've cost me double that for 1200KM - prices there are on par with Vancouver, about 1.75AUD per liter of regular. I estimate that a similar sized car (Camry, etc) would've been 150CAD or so.

Remember my 1200km of driving costed 87CAD, and that's with topping up to return the car.

I did, but needed both keys or something in the car and I didn't want to get in trouble with the rental place for fucking up the user account eetc.
