Default True cost of "filling" an electric car?

There's a helluva gap between my mileage and that of a "long distance"
driver. I understand that some people commute up to about 100 miles each
way. That's easily within the range of the car I drove (Model S, 85D),
without needing to recharge at work, and would amount to a decent-enough
annual mileage - say 45000 miles - and that's without counting weekends.


I'm willing to bet no electric could do the average 200 mile commute on
one battery charge. Every day of the year.
