Your math is incorrect. Charging at 90amps, 240V for 4 hours is
86Kwh of electricity. At 10c a KWH that would be $8.60. Here in
NJ, at about 17c, it would be $15.
Also, the compare can't be made to a internal combustion engine car
getting 20MPG. The electric cars are very small cars. So, it should
be compared to cars getting 35-40 MPG. You can get a bluetec
Mercedes diesel in that range that is a real car. There are plenty
of other small cars capable of that mpg too, So assuming 35mpg, I
could drive at least 175 miles in a simlar car for the same $15 in
energy cost. And those electric energy costs are largely derived
from cheap coal from existing plants which are not particularly
clean. If we're to build anything remotely clean, ( think carbon
sequestration) you can expect the future energy prices to be way
higher. Unless we come up for a solution on how to make the
electricity, you can't begin to compare costs moving forward.
Bless you. Maths is hard, that's why so many would rather hold hands
and sing Kumbuya.
I will offer the correction that "clean" has nothing to do with
Carbon sequestration.- Hide quoted text -
Not sure exactly what you mean by the last sentence. * *But if you're
saying that CO2 emission is not being treated as a pollutant, well I
guess you better take that up with the Supreme Court and the EPA.
Heh! CO2 is *NOT* being treated as a pollutant. By any agency of government.
