How do you average the cost of a home charging station into this, My friend had the power company pull in a larger service also.
To be fair I would think look at the service life if the vehicle and divide installation costs over that time.
I.e. if you expect the ev to last 10 years and the cost to install charger is 10,000 then the cost per year would be 1,000.
I made the numbers up but the concept is valid. I would be interested in what actual numbers are to install a station.
$6900 of car related expenses last year. That is gas, tires, repairs, registration, etc. for the vehicles that I use for my business. I think the total miles driven was a little over 10,000.
But the EV was almost zero. No maintenance costs just a few hundred for tags.
Doesn't the ev use tires too?
To be accurate you should look at tire wear per mile on each car then factor in costs over the miles driven.
You didn't say, but if you replaced tires on 2 gas vehicles that already had 2 years of wear or driven 10 times as much as the ev that had brand new tires when you got it, the numbers may be off.
No doubt the ev is cheaper for the short term but long term will be less rosey. Still better I think but not as pretty as right now.
