What's the cost of a kwh in your neighborhood?
What is the total cost for 40 miles of electricity charged from your home?
Thanks.
I live in Texas and we currently have ridiculously low prices available at the moment, as low as 4.8¢/kWh, see http://www.powertochoose.org or specifically https://signup.cirroenergy.com/files/0901751880f7b903.pdf . (We also have free nighttime plans available with the catch being that you pay more during the day.)
However, I did my “50% to 60%” calculation back when gasoline and electricity both cost a lot more so the numbers will be different now.
The Volt requires roughly 13 kWh to charge its 40 mile battery.
