EV owners of today and tomorrow

So which appliance do you consider the owner of those typical extra monthly charges ? To be comparing accurately you have to take your total monthly costs and your kw used and use that as your average costs per kwh , and applies for any of your appliance or charging needs ....any other way is deceitful.( of course a percentage off for any appliance consistently used off peak but my napkin math won't express that easily. )

Not at all. If he uses 10 kWh tonight at 5¢/kWh the bill increases 50¢. That is the true cost of adding the EV load.

If you pay $100/month for satellite tv service and buy a pay per view movie at $5 then that movie cost $5 not $105/hours watching other things.

Otherwise you might as well factor the cost of one’s mortgage into the cost of charging the EV. And property taxes…

So EV owners happen to have electric companies that don’t charge any stepped tier transmission costs, or % adjustments , or % fees? (see my post above).

How do you figure the turbo is a drain on people??? And what increase in maintenance costs???

I'm just curious, because our last two cars have had turbos, and we haven't had increased maintenence expenses.

And most ice vehicles have a 7500 mile recommended interval between services. So you can't really claim shortened oil life.

Turbos have been around for a seriously long time. And other than my 25hp diesels at work, everything else has a turbo on it.

If you convert mileage from hours on the equipment, I'm getting probably 600,000 miles out of a turbo before having to replace it. That's based at 60mph for 10,000 hrs. And the 600,000 miles is probably a low estimate since I have some engines with 14,000 hrs or more on them and haven't had a turbo replacement yet.

Not a very technically accurate video to begin with. Just another YouTuber dude trying to make money, trying to sound like he has an unforeseen unfortunate angle on an existing proven technology

Speaking of fools…I’m curious… is it rectangular, or round shaped? Like a traditional thin crust, or deep dish?

It makes sense to include any fees that scale with usage, but not fixed charges, as you're paying them whether you own the EV or not. The differential cost of charging is the cost per mile.

Ok, I know you stated just the off peak energy cost, but it still seems very unusual to have a power company that allows a cheap off peak rate without any associated charges.

For example, this company in Colorado, with 5 cents off peak pricing for time of use consumers.. while having no kWh incurred transmission charges, does have many % add on “adjustments”, which would be added on in your total bill,and you’d need to account for them to get a more accurate cost of night charging. Check the back of your bill.

We get our power from a CO-OP that gets it's power from Xcel. There is no adjustment that is related to usage, just a "power cost adjustment that reflects the monthly fluctuation in the cost of wholesale power purchased from Xcel. That can either be a surcharge or a credit."
