Electric vs Gas Cost

Here's some stats from the Anderson Economic Group...Cost of owning a EV.
$11.29 per 100 miles for a gas powered vehicle

$11.60 per 100 miles for EV's charged at home
$14.10 per 100 miles for EV's charged at charging stations

And while EV owner's don't pay gas taxes, some states have introduced higher
registration fees to compensate.

Are Ford dealers tacking on an extra $10,000 for sales of their useless EV F-150 pickup truck ?

Note - My nephew works at a power plant, burns coal, coal arrives on barges at the river. He said the can transfer electricity to NY from SW Pennsylvania. Lately the demand is increasing at evening and night hours, folks plugging in their electric car or truck.

Must be nice to drive 100 miles for $11.29. My Tacoma gets ~20mpg. At $3.40/gallon that’s $17/100miles

 

Getting ready for Friday thread.

 

I hope everyone else gets an EV. More Gasoline for me.

 

The study was comparing an EV car with an ICE car not a truck.

 

5.4kva solar system , electric for charging and whole house $22.17 per month

 

How does this relate to 3rd Gen Tacoma's?

 

How much did your panels cost?

 

Must be nice to drive 100 miles for $17...

 

Here in nw Connecticut our electric rates have shot up since jan1 this year...and it was expensive before.

 

Just saying the initial post wasn’t for a Tacoma either,

 

Electric vehicles are not the future.

 

My 2023 OR-TRD-V6, recent trip 18.8 mpg. This is speed range, 64 up to 78 mph, total average, driving from Wilmington, NC to Morgantown, W Va. It just turned 1244 on the odo. On a longer stretch of 55+ mph, up to 21.4 mpg. Burning 89 and 87 octane.
These same numbers are close on the 4Runner.

 

Lately the demand is increasing at evening and night hours, Many people are just turning on lights and heat cooking dinner....

 

Car and Driver did a comparison after 45,000 miles... Based on $3.70 Gal. cost of gas and $0.1546/kWh electric charge US average, both in July 2022


Hyundai Kona Electric: $2548
Hyundai Kona Gas: $5162

Ford F-150 Lightning: $4529
Ford F-150 Gas: $8325

 

It's fun when verifiable facts get in the way versus a son of a friend from Hoboken who hooked up with a nuke commander once.

 

Best MPG

 

Exactly, demand always goes up at night. Creating news when it’s not.

 

You haven't priced horses or wheelwrights lately either, huh?

 

Well it's getting cold out so heat is running more. How does he know EV owners were plugging in their cars was causing the demand?
