Above is a link to an electric car.
I always look for and have trouble finding the cost per mile or cost to charge.
A way to make that cost/benefit relationship user friendly would be a cost per mile/cost per month conversion applet.
Example:
Fill in the blanks and then press enter or ‘calculate’.
Variable ------------------my current example
Cost per kWh -------------------.13 cents (electric bill from California Edison)
Cost per gallon gasoline ----------3.00
MPH of current vehicle------------20 (Ford F150) or 30 (Honda Civic)
Miles per month average ----------700
Enter
---------------------------Ford----------Honda----------Electric
Cost per mile -----------.15------------.10----------------.04

Wild guess
Enter (continued)
----------------------------Ford-------------Honda-------------Electric
Cost per month--------$105.00----------$70.00---------------$28
----------------------------Ford------------Honda--------------Electric
Cost per year---------$1,260.00-------$840.00--------------$336.00
Cost per year for a fleet of 100 cars………………
Cost per life span of vehicle plus maintenance costs…………..
Cost per mile when home is generating Electricity with Solar Panels.
Cost change when gasoline goes up 1 dollar a gallon…..
Cost change when electricity goes up .10 cents per kWh….
Cost change when gasoline flow stops and electricity flow stops or is intermittent (embargo of gasoline, gas lines, black outs of electricity, peak usage of electricity over-charges, etc.)
