[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]What I meant to ask with the mpg question is how much do you end up paying for a full charge and how many miles can you go on
a full charge on average. For comparison, a gas car can go about 300 miles on a “full charge” at a cost of about $30.  So, $0.1 per
mile. [/quote]

The savings for EV charging is with home charging where you might pay $0.18 per kWh. We have solar so that cost is reduced to nearly nothing. But let's say that you fully charged our BMW i4 paying $0.18 per kWh. The battery is roughly 67 kWh, so that costs $12.06. The range would be about 240 miles, mean $0.05 per mile.

This changes radically if you rely on public fast charging which can cost $0.40 - $0.60 or even more per kWh. Our i4 came with two years of free charging on the Electrify America network so when we stick to that network, we pay nothing. But if we use other stations, we are paying about the same as gas.

Interesting.  It makes a lot of sense to combine an EV with solar panels on your roof. [/quote]
