The Verge: Honda teases upcoming Prologue, its first electric SUV to be sold in the US.
Check my math please. ID4 uses 35 kWh per 100 miles. So at .43 per kWh it costs you $15.05 to drive 100 miles? Correct?
So for a car that gets 25 mpg, that would be equivalent to paying $3.76 per gallon (15.05/4).
I think you said .43 kWh was high and you are still coming out ahead currently.
I’m averaging right at $0.03 a mile in my compliance car Fiat.
The charging networks are priced very different depending on who you use. Electrify america is mostly .43/kWh.
EVgo is priced about .30 per minute. On EVgo stations with a 350kw delivery rate (though no car can accept that’s the Porsche electric is 250 and my car, the ioniq 5, is 235 max charge rate) I can add 250 miles in 18 minutes, so about $6. On their 50kw chargers that can take an hour, or $20.
This will all improve in time, but right now a lot of companies are still in figure it out stage.
Same.
It’ll go up soon though. Ev’s are becoming too big a chunk of the driving fleet to ignore. The state is going to start taxing them in some way to get their cut, which is fair. Our cars use the roads too.
I have pulled the motorcycles back out as daily drivers given gas prices. Was talking at the bar about gas prices and evs with a Tesla EV Bro - he tried to argue with me that his EV was more green than my motorcycle. Tried to explain to him bikes cause less environmental damage, less road damage, use less consumables, less raw materials, mine gets 60-80 mpg depending on my riding habits. I mean be happy with your Tesla but cmon man.
Not to mention a lot cooler too 
Depends how loud it is.
Stock motorcycles are no louder than a car and if it’s a Ducati with a dry clutch it sounds amazing.
Probably means her fiancé stole it
I’m a big believer in the power of humanity’s ability to rise to a challenge.
We have been told oil would run out in 50 years for 50 years now yet we keep finding new ways to discover and extract oil.
In times of war we have cranked out entire ships in a week to meet the need.
In times of disease we have rolled out millions of vaccines in relatively short time.
We will innovate, adapt, and progress. It’s what we do as a species.
Totally agree. Just might mess up Cali timeframe.
My only concern with the drive to EVs is driving electric rates up in the short term and rolling blackouts and impacting peoples ability to warm and cool their living arrangements. The impact to lower income folks with that is real and in this instance would have absolutely nothing to do with them.
Also road maintenance revenue.
I think that will be addressed in the next couple of years though.
Yeah I still don’t know what is the best way to handle that. Going to be interesting to see where that lands. My best idea is to take the previous years mileage and divide by 12 and charge monthly.
