I'm looking for help/confirmation on my MPGe calculation.
Assuming 3.0 miles/kWh performance.
Your electric bill gives a price per kWh rate for the energy, but there no price per kWh for delivery. I see 3 components:
1) Customer charge (Flat $4.00)
2) Distributed Related Component (Based on usage)
3) Cost recovery charges (Based on usage)
In Ohio, I pay about $.04989 (Stated rate) for electricity and about $.085 for delivery (Total of 3 above charges divided my the kWh used)
So I'm constantly paying about 13.5 cents/kWh out the door.
If gasoline is currently $2.50/gallon, I can buy about 18.5 kWh's for $2.50
18.5 x 3.0 miles/kWh and I'm getting about 55 MPGe
So questions to the group:
1) Did I calculate that correctly?
2) Does $.085 seem high for delivery?
I do have 32 solar panels, which covers about 85% of my usage, but that shouldn't factor in when talking about the "Added" cost of an electric car.
Thanks.
