The average urbanites daily drive is less than 30 miles per day you need 7.5 kWh in a full sized Model S to cover that per day. That’s three 450 watt commercial sized panels worth of power per day or less.
With 600 miles range that’s 20 days nearly 3 weeks of driving for 96% of the population based on DOT data. With 5C charging you need 12 minutes over that 20 day period at a fast charger. It’s ludicrous to think that people offered a $45,000 car that is 5 times or more cheaper per mile when charged in your garage with the capability to take a 5C fast charge would not eliminate ICE it’s when not if.
Case in point retail power in Texas is down to 8 cents per kWh. Premium 93 is $4’15 today. My New Model 3 needs 180when/mi or 1.44 cents of power to cover a single mile. My S60 gets 28mpg in the city at 4.15 gal that’s 14.8 cents per mile and I can’t just walk away from it over night and have a full tank in the morning.
The rest of the world measures cost and fuel use over a fixed distance 100km. So using the world standard but in freedom units to cover 100 miles of travel retail power is 1.44 cents per mile add in 10% pack loss to be fair. 1.58 cents per mile and $1.58 for 100 miles.
ICE of identical size the S60 is one inch in all three dimensions to the M3 Tesla it’s also heavier by nearly 100lbs both ride on 18R tires Pirelli at that both are on P4s the same tire. 14.8 cents per mile is $14.80 for 100 miles.
Compare those two numbers and you will see why for urbanites EV make sense and with solid state cells they will crush ICE in every metric.
