Power generation where I live uses mostly coal, followed by natural gas, then wind.
The base rate is 7 cents per kwh, total consumption divided by the bill is usually around 9 to 10 cents per kwh.
The efficiency of a coal plant is usually up to 38%.
The average line loss in the united states as a whole is 10% or 11% as of 2012.
My leaf gets 3.5 to 4.7 miles per kwh. The lower limit being pulling my trailer during winter and the higher end is summer time with no trailer and mostly highway driving.
