Living with a Mercedes-Benz G580 (Electric G-Class): the cost story

The G580 is the electric G-Class — a military-grade brick whose aero is a rounding error and whose consumption is honestly among the worst here. It also tank-turns, fords rivers, and out-crawls the gas G.

Nobody cross-shops it on cost per mile. For the record: it still runs cheaper per mile than the V8 G-Wagen it shares a driveway with.
