For another article I am writing, I needed a good tool for estimating vehicle total cost of ownership (TCO), something that I could easily use to compare any cars out there. I didn’t want to develop all my numbers from my experience, since then I would have to research every other car that someone wanted to compare it to. I tried to find a TCO calculation for the Tesla Model 3 at both Kelly Blue Book and Edmunds.
It’s no secret that electric vehicles carry higher sticker prices than comparable legacy vehicles (although it’s debatable whether any gas-burner is truly “comparable” to an EV, especially a Tesla). Of course, as any EV booster will tell you, the difference in purchase price is offset by savings on fuel and maintenance, as well as the various tax breaks and incentives that are available.
As the electric vehicle (EV) sector rapidly continues to expand, data experts cap hpi have looked at the total cost of ownership (TCO) to acknowledge the electric cars with the lowest motoring costs in the UK. Cap hpi examined used EVs for this, first posing the question, “Once all the servicing, fuel and other motoring costs are taken into account, which EV cars perform the best?” The following are the cheapest electric cars to run in the UK.
Today at the ACT Expo in Long Beach, the Workhorse Group unveiled its W-15 Plug in Hybrid Electric Pickup Truck. The electric truck has 80 miles of all-electric range (AER) paired with a gasoline-powered BMW range extender to enable a total range of 390 miles on a full charge and a full tank of gas.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the gauntlet has been thrown down and there’s money on the line. Fortunately for me, it’s your money on the line, so listen up. While chatting over coffee (okay, in the comments section of a recent article), Zach and dRanger framed up an interesting idea for a … [continued]
If the electric vehicle of the future is lightweight and energy efficient, power generations will be able to keep pace with electrification.
Decarbonizing utilities: Washington passed the first law in the United States that outlines a pathway for a combined gas and electricity utility to transition away from gas for all of its customers. Proposed by Puget Sound Energy, the bill allows the utility to merge electric and gas customers into a single rate … [continued]
The results are aligned with what’s obvious to anyone who has done bottom-up estimates with realistic perspectives on batteries and hydrogen.
Why is it that, often when you reach a milestone and you are really happy about it, things go bad afterwards? I recently wrote a review of my Tesla Model 3 reaching 100,000 miles, with detailed TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), and I stick by the conclusion that this car … [continued]
Is it too early to tell where the New Zealand electric vehicle market will settle in the medium to long term? I hope so, as the figures from February are slightly worse than those of January 2024. We are still waiting for a recovery from changes in government policy. James … [continued]
