So assuming 6km/kWh and 100km/9.5L, the difference is a factor of 8. Also, my car is not nearly this fuel-efficient—I get about 14L/100km.
I assume you made those prices up as unrealistic, but it just depends on where you live.
- mardifoufs 5y agoGoing by the prices you listed, I assume you are also from quebec ? Keep in mind gas prices in parts of the US are much lower than ours, and 14L/100km sounds like a lot for a sedan (which is the type of vehicule that gets 6km/kwh). So I don't think their figure is that unrealistic for the average North American use case, and you have to factor in the fact that we just have exceptionally cheap electricity too.
