It's also a less expensive. The average cost of electricity is about 17 cents, it's about 12 cents here, per kWhr.
The average EV needs about 35 kWhrs to go 100 miles. So, about $6 per hundred miles national average. Figure gasoline at $3.50 and 33 mpg and you need $10.50 in gas.
And herein lies an issue, using those averages if my math is OK. You save $4.50 per hundred miles, $540 per 12 thousand miles, great. But the EV is gonna cost more right now, quite a bit more, which is why they still need these tax credits. Is my math right?
You also save on brakes and oil changes as well. The matter about battery replacement costs is still all over the place.
