Do you know how many kWh will be needed for a full charge and the cost per mile at 10 cents per kWh?

I don’t know how many kWh a “Volt” takes for a full charge.

If I recall correctly, the “EV1” they built a few years back took 13 kWh, and was good for about 100 miles. At $0.10 per kWh, that would have been 1.3 cents per mile.

The painful part of that one (EV1) was that the battery-replacement cost would have been about 6 cents per mile.
