All those editorial comparisons need a lot to go right, a lot of iffs that need to fall the EV direction to make their conclusion.Yes, the monitor calculates on raw data and raw kWh’s based on the raw rate. That’s how they work.
But you need to go re read my original post. I basically doubled the calculated rate for my dollars and cents calculations which is generous since a lot of the fees we pay to just have service at our houses and delivery are not absolutely proportional.
If you don’t want to believe me for whatever reason as someone who has 4 EV’s to his name now, seriously, just google it and read some Canada / Ontario centric factual articles. I’m not the only one who understands and has run the numbers.
Here’s a few to start.
Charging an EV equal to paying 40 cents a litre for gas: report - Clean Energy Canada
TORONTO — With summer road trip season in full swing, Canadian EV drivers are paying the gasoline equivalent of $0.40 per litre to power their rides, according to a new report from Clean Energy Canada, The Scenic Route, which compares the cost of owning an EV to that of a gas car. In fact, a […]cleanenergycanada.org
Save a buck a litre? Canadian EV drivers do just that every day
Here's how much cheaper it is in major Canadian cities to charge an electric vehicle at home vs buying an equivalent amount of gasoline at the pump…www.nationalobserver.com
Here’s a Canadian Ioniq5 specific one comparing 1:1 to a new RAV4.
Comparing models 1:1 in the used market now yield even more favorable numbers.
Now, if one still insists on comparing a $40K used EV to a boring econobox I’m sure one can still find fault. But we don’t Compare BMW’s to a Fiat and expect fair comparisons either.
For example, the Corporate Knights were $3k low on price, 60% off in electricity prices, somehow found .5% financing, and assumed those spending $65k on a primary new car will keep it 50% longer than most. All charging at home low cost TOU. Hmmm. A lot of bases to touch.
Hey, I get the economy’s and I know for some there is a cost savings. I’ve done the what if’s 11 ways from Sunday looking for some personal savings. For me and my 25000km/year travels — it doesn’t work yet. For me I’d need a $20000 used model 3 (or equivalent ) that could go 150,000km and have a residual value of $5000.
or enough unsold cars.
