minus-squareryrybang@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·4 days agohttps://www.seattle.gov/city-light/residential-services/billing-information/rates Base service charge per day: $0.4103 Energy per kWh: $0.1392 Typical EV: 0.35 kWh per mile Typical monthly miles: 700 So ($0.4103 x 30 days) + (0.35 kWh x 700 miles x $.1392) = ~$46 per month Yep, gotta earn at least $200k to pay that whopper. And since gas for ICE cost more, you gotta make $400k to buy gas.
minus-squaretidderuuf@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down8·4 days agoYou missed the part about the extra fees, the carbon tax fee, the ev registration fee, the new ev road use fee, the exclusive ev parking fees, have I mentioned the new ev specific fee for new purchases? Tldr; you missed a few fees.
minus-squareNot_mikey@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up9arrow-down1·4 days agoStill cheaper then ICE cars Carbon tax would be cheaper as long as the grid has a bit of renewables in it Ev registration fee is supposed to make up for the gas tax for road infrastructure that EVs don’t pay
minus-squareryrybang@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down2·4 days ago< $12,000, 2019. And there’s plenty more cheaper. https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/353048e4-7dcf-4efe-87ba-4e88fac918cf/ And I don’t think any of those other fees justify the $200k figure. Especially with a $12k car that uses $50/month of electricity.
