If you live in a place like the PNW where electricity is cheap there's some really awesome synergy there.
First month of owning an EV I put ~3k miles on it at ~$40/mo electricity bill increase. Most EVs range from 230-330 Wh/mi, gas for the car it replaced would have been ~$250. If you drive a lot EVs make sense for a bunch of reasons(no oil changes drop the per-mile cost even lower).
- aembleton 11y agoHow many KW/h of electricity is that in your first month? Which EV do you have?
- vvanders 11y ago~330 Wh/mi(Model S 85D) * 3k = 990kWh * 0.06c per kWh Leafs come in around 230 Wh/mi from what I hear which is even better from a cost perspective.
