Are you asking if an additional car purchase will save you money on 70 miles a week of commuting ? This should not be toooo hard: 70*52 = 3640...
Understood -- thanks. I've been 'educated' to assure excellent connection between the high voltage/high amp cables and their contacts, so it...
Fantastic, @Old Bear Thanks!
No doubt about it -- PV + EV is greeaat In my household we drive about 16k miles a year, of which 10k are EV and 6k are petrol at ~ 60 mpg. We...
Thanks -- very informative post. My uncertainty relates to the snippet I quoted. Do you splice into the wires running into and out of the breaker ?
It adds up over time, and you pollute less. This publication says that an average CA household consumes around 1,500 kWh a year on lighting, or...
It mostly depends on how much the bulb is used, but it does not take a lot for it to be a no brainer to replace an incandescent with an LED....
IIRC my range meter peaked at 38 miles the last time weather was balmy although I've driven over 45 miles on a single charge. Nowadays I don't...
Could this be a DIY install for a fairly clueless person like me ?
I realize this is humor, but I sure hope that your spouse noticed the reduction in petrol use and cost.
The range meter is no where near as granular as a drive down and up a hill would require to see a change, and that is a good thing. Think of it...
His equation broken down: 1. Calculate the cost to charge the battery from empty to full 2. Divide (1) into the EV range to calculate the cost...
I paid $900 to ship from Long Island, NY to Albuquerque. I was told (and somewhat confirmed) that the toll to cross the Hudson river was the...
30 km is well within the Prime's EV range, perhaps for the life of the car. On long drives the Prime will have ~ 40% better MPG The Prime safety...
pennies per mile are about the same for you, but you pollute much less driving the car as an EV If you want to get the most meters out of each...
Thanks for the perspective. Curious, that I view the i3 as a LEAF replacement and the Tesla as the Prime replacement. This probably mostly...
As someone who is thinking about buying an i3-Rex, I'm not overjoyed at the crappy fuel economy of the ICE either. But then I remind myself that I...

I looked at the list. The battery sizes are ok .. the efficiency is horrible. Perhaps as bad as the petrol efficiency, I didn't check.
Here is an IEEE abstract that looked at L1 vs L2 charging efficiency They found that L2 is 5.6% more efficient on average with a substantial range...
