| I live in Europe, it's approx. $0.41 per kWh and diesel fuel is $1.60/liter or approx $6,4/gallon. If I use your example, - 75 kw battery to full is $30.75 and it's $10.25 per 100 miles; - 2 gallons for ICE to travel 100 miles, it would be $12.8 per 100 miles. So electric car would be a clear winner. If I factor in charging at 80% efficiency, it's $12.3 - only a $0.5 difference. And the country I live in has the 4th highest energy price in the entire block. Two points I would also consider 1- the service cost of an ICE car would be higher in a long run compared to the electric one due to higher complexity and more moving parts. 2- electric's car battery will wear down overtime and it will probably run less during winter. I don't have much data though to elaborate on those points. |
