Prices will vary based on where you live. Some people can get phenomenally low cost per mile with cheap electricity, but my electricity is not cheap. Cheap electricity usually comes from coal.
He's also doing it in a $1500 car which can drive across the country without inconvenience, using existing infrastructure.
EDIT: I get it. EVs definitely have a place. However, that doesn't minimize his achievements, or change what we can learn from what he's doing. |
Depends what numbers you use. As oil pan can corroborate, 250wh/mile is fairly easy to achieve, even when steady state cruising on the highway like I do. So, at $0.15/kwh and 250wh/mile, its 80 miles per $3 (gallon) vs 70 miles per $3 (gallon), roughly the same.
He is seriously hypermiling the hell out of that insight!
