Not necessarily true. Depends on how many miles in the ground is, along with major parts that need replacing. Assuming no major replacements, my $25,000 Ford Focus from 2012 would become more expensive at 190,000 miles compared my $55,000 Mach-E. This is factoring in purchase price, gas/electricity, oil changes (Focus), tires, brakes, shocks, and air filters.
Juicebox sees total power use including losses due to the inverter. Fordpass reports kWh into the battery only. Should always be about 10% loss.
That said, my utility is charging me for the 40.7 kWh, right?
Yep! Thatās why you want a Smart EVSE like that to track it. I used a OpenEVSE and simply track my odometer and the lifetime kWh counter every month in a spreadsheet.
First, FordPass rounds. So you could have used 34.51kW or 35.44kW.
That is the big question, at what point is an EV just worth scrap metal. I think itās fair to say that currently most people would be uneasy buying an EV with 100k miles on it. In all fairness I wouldnāt buy a gas car with 100k miles either.
RickMachEās advice is worth checking out. In Wisconsin my off peak plan reduces my cost/kWh from $.12 to $.0675 and in Minnesota my sonās girlfriend reduced her cost from $.12 to $.04.
That is ONLY the supplier charge with delivery and other fees it will be closer to 20 cents through November. Sorry if I was not clear about that.
Even at 20c itās 33% cheaper than I pay for
