Re: Tesla Roadster
Whoopsy:Leawood911:thanks Tony
A little math. A gallon of 93 octane BP is around $3 here in good old Kansas. Around town my turbo does well to get 20 mpg. Let’s make it 25 on the highway at best behavior.
At $.05 per kWh I can get 60 kWh for that same $3. A model 3 is rated at 4.1 miles per kWh. That’s 246 miles for the same $3. (now 2.9 sec 0-60, so it kills the turbo) It also best the M3 around the track by a fair margin so this is not just a straight line trick. IMHO they are comparing to the wrong Tesla when it comes to driving fun.
My round trip to work each day if I come home for lunch is 10 miles. Just the gas to get gas (4 miles) costs more than total electricity for a week (50 miles).
I believe the Porsche gets a respectable 2.1 miles per kWh (49kwh/100 miles) It has its place and is an awesome carthe cost of ownership, insurance, repairs etc is just incredible for any electric My observation only
No one dispute the cheapness of running a EV.
Our electricity is on a 2 step pricing but the first step is so small that it's pointless to include, so our rate is CAD$0.12 a kw. Recharging my Audi from empty is ~CAD$11.
For the Panamera is like $1.50
Not that cheap in Europe I'm afraid and there are also huge differences between different service providers (chargers).
