I did about a hundred miles of driving on Sunday and my MachE GTPE (96 to be exact). It was a mix of highways, nice back roads, with some traffic and city driving mixed in. Based on my charger, I put back in 44Kw and here in New York, I pay $.17 per Kw off-peak delivered. Therefore Sunday driving cost me about $7.48 in energy to recharge. I also just so happen to fill up my other car on Sunday, the price for premium unleaded was $4.53 a gallon. It's an inefficient SUV [Ford Flex EcoBoost], that gets about 14 mi to the gallon on average, based on the type of driving my wife and I do. On this fiil it was 13.8, but I'll go with 14. I calculated it would have taken about four and a half gallons or approximately $31 of fuel the cover my Sunday drive If I took the SUV.
If you look at my mi/Kwh you'll see it wasn't a fuel economy run. It was in the mid-2's. I had a fun drive. I know these efficiency numbers don't look great, but from a cost per mile perspective, I'm spending about 7.7 cents a mile in my MME over .32 cents a mile in my SUV. Even if I were to double the fuel economy of my SUV, that would have the cost, to around $.16 a mile still double what it cost to run my MME. I'm driving the MME is way more fun.
I'm curious if anybody else looks at their efficiency this way. I do it quite often, and I'm still amazed by how much less per mile it cost to run. In averages to about a quarter of the cost every time. Sometimes I've seen it a tad bit better, and on a few occasions worse, but I've never seen it more than half the cost.
While my numbers are for the GTPE, I was wondering if anyone can share their real life calculations for other models, in other states, based on the actual cost of electricity. If you have solar and it's free for you, I'm jealous. I'm not really looking to compare that, I just am curious as to the cost per mile in various regions for various models.
