Review got me thinking costs again. He paid $10 for a 27% e-charge top off.
Both my house rates and Tesla supercharger rates have gone up. I will cover some costs here like a brief post some pages back about a Camry Hybrid being competitive in costs for fuel. Some rough calculations please correct any big mistakes:
The average electric car kWh per 100 miles kWh/100 miles) is 34.6
My electric rates have gone up and are .14-.20 /kwh.
Other areas are .40 /kwh. My
solar makes it free only day hours.
The supercharger I last used was .40 /kwh
so let's look at 100mi travel gas vs elec
34.6 x .40= $13.84 or my house full rate $7
My hybrid crossover gets 40+mpg. so 100mi is 2.5gal of gas. Note both do better in mixed driving, the BEV does worse in high speed 80mph+ ACon driving but the Hybrid doesn't take as big of a mph hit there, something like 4mpg.
2.5 x 4.50 /gal = $11.25
Well there goes the idea of fuel savings if you get a hybrid and pay high price for electric or superchargers. Similarly some of you live in $3 / gal gas areas to make gas more attractive.
Not to be excluded in price considerations my German car is some crazy $500 service A or Service B crap. I am risking losing the warranty changing oil myself screw that. Also no brake and rotor changes or plugs and other maintenance which I'm too lazy right now to add up but we don't consider that in our 100mi examples but 100,000 miles that's thousands of $ to add into the considerations.

here are some best case BEV calculations that contradict my example.
