My car gets 8km/L real-world, so 800km is about 100L of gasoline. At $1.50/L for its required 91 octane gas, that's $150.
Electricity is $0.08/kwh for the low tier where I live (Vancouver, Canada), so $4.80 to charge the 60kwh battery from zero.
The Bolt has an EPA range of 380 km. So, I was figuring that it would require two (and a bit) charges to hit the same 800km number.
- closeparen 10y ago8km/L is 2.35 miles per gallon. That's hilariously abysmal. Are you driving the space shuttle crawler? Chevy Tahoe is the epitome of enormous gas guzzling SUV and it gets 8x that, at 16mpg.
- maximilianburke 10y agoCheck your units. 8km/l is 19 mpg.
- kjdndisneinj 10y agoThey probably confused l/100km with km/l. 8l/100km is quite a common fuel consumption figure (~30mpg). I don't know how they didn't notice this though, because most people have a general idea of how often they fill their car and how much it costs.
