It works out for me as near-zero cost for a Performance.
30k miles/yr driven. ~20k in the Bay Area, ~10k on road trips (where Superchargers would be nice)
$5 gas, $0 electricity cost (assume charging at work)
60 minutes/day savings on commute, which is the big thing. Most of the East Bay is HOV-3, and with 2 people in the car, still no HOV access. It easily would save 20-30 minutes twice a day. On 101/237, I'm usually 1 person when I want HOV-2 access. Opening up 5-9am and 3-7pm everyday with time savings would be a huge plus.
The cheaper solution to this is to get a 2-seat gasoline car or a Leaf, though. The even faster solution is a motorcycle, but factoring in risk of death/injury on a motorcycle in rush hour on 580/80/101 and it's not worth it.
