[quote=Anonymous]“The questions are: what gasoline/electric cars are you comparing, what are the prices of gas/electricity and how much do you drive.” Just keep a couple additional things in mind. With a level 2 (220V) home charger, only about 85% of the electricity you buy actually makes it into the battery. Also, reduce your EV efficiency by about 30% from November through February. (Rough estimate.) For the record, my hybrids’ efficiencies drop in the cold, also, but it’s less dramatic. If the OP is wondering, I’m a big fan of hybrids and PHEVs, and can give some thoughts on those. [/quote]
