Because you'd be lucky to get 5 miles a day on over $1,000 of solar equipment. But cars like Aptera can get 40 miles a day from the sun, not because their solar is amazing (it's only like 700 watts) but because they use the energy the sun created so efficiently.

There are tow companies that have charging built into their trucks. It's not as fast as dumping 3 gallons of gas in, but most time you don't need to go that far to the next charger. Plus the last time you ever ran out of fuel should have been when you were 16 years old, unless you are an extraordinarily irresponsible person.

When I charged my Nissan Leaf at home in Oregon at 8.3 cents per KWH the cost to replenish 200 miles of driving was equal to buying a gallon of gas. So I got the equivalent of 200 miles per gallon.

We need to remember that these charging costs include zero for state/federal highway taxes. As more EVs hit the roads, states and the fed are going to need to find a way to tax them to keep our streets and roads in good shape. Since they typically weigh more than equivalent gas vehicles, the rates may be even higher than gas tax rates. In my state (MI) we pay 28.6 cents/gallon for state tax, and 18.4 cents/gallon federal tax for a total of 47 cents/gallon. Average state gas price is $2.81, so that comes to almost 17% in gasoline tax. Expect charging rates to increase by at least this much in the near future.

@@skmetal7 not sure of the square footage, because my solar array is based off watts, I have a mixed sets of solar panels. This means that solar panels depending on the manufacturer, they come in an arrangement of measurements. Which as it stands I have only have 1205 watts an hour at peak performance. Yet daily use is a measurement that is different to achieve, without creating resistance. Due to gage of wire that such measurement device requires, I have not measured this parameter. I also have wired thr cabin with over gauged wire, to reduce resistance. Always adding to the 12 volt system. The thought is to develop a 12 volt system that handles all my basic needs. Then build the 24 volt system after the 12 volt system can support what I need to keep everything going, even if it's bad weather for a few days. I am just about ready to add another 720 watts. Which due to a 12 volt system. That panels were a lot larger for what they receive for watts. The energy hub has a roof line 12x6, and 12x8, so 168sq ft. The main point is that, yes people should learn their energy consumption, before thinking that they are saving the planet, with buying an EV. Solar understands watts more then anything, and a 1000 watts is a kilowatt. When thinking solar a single kilowatt is a lot of energy. So when buying even a blender the about ot watts that it takes to operate this item is a deep consideration. Many companies now use a plow against this understanding by not illustrating the watts. This why understanding Ohms law comes into play. If one knows this simple math, then it's not difficult to determine whether to buy it or not. Solar is not as simple as it seems, yet it is.

Those charging costs are huge! If it costs $100 to drive only 300 miles and gasoline costs $3.80 per gallon, then you could have bought 26 gallons of gas with $100. That’s equivalent to 11 miles per gallon. If it costs $170 to drive 300 miles, you could have bought 45 gallons of gasoline at $3.80 per gallon. That’s equivalent to 6.7 miles per gallon. A hummer gets 10 to 14 miles per gallon. You’re being ripped off by those public charging stations! It’s also wasting hours of time waiting for the charge, when it would take only 5 minutes to fill a gasoline tank. Plus, the electric vehicle could burn down your house. Plus, the battery could fail if a pebble damages it, or it goes out of warranty. Replacing the battery could cost up to $60,000. If the charging stations were occupied, or some of them don’t work, then you’d have to wait for hours in line, then wait even more hours for your charge to complete. If all the gas pumps are occupied, you only have to wait 5 to 10 minutes to fill your car with gasoline, which takes only 5 minutes. Electric vehicles are simply not practical. It makes no sense to own an electric vehicle.

A battery that you can charge to only 60 percent of what you could when it was new is considered "worn out". This usually happens long before 15 years. A more realistic estimate is 7 years if you run deep cycles (discharging most of the battery energy before recharging) or up to 12 years running shallow cycles (low mileage per day and keeping battery topped up). A truck battery is much more likely to be run using deep cycles....especially when hauling a load or when towing. A Tesla 3 or cheaper EV for daily commutes makes economic sense....anything larger does not. An EV semi-truck is especially hard to make economically feasible when the weight of the batteries in order to get the range you need approaches the weight of the load you are trying to haul. When bringing in the cost of a battery change you get to a point of diminishing returns. Democrat politicians only look at the best case scenario and think that everyone drives that way so everyone should be forced to change to EV by letting gas prices go up. They do not even consider that most people do not drive shallow cycle. They only consider the city dwellers that vote their way and are already big proponents of EVs. Hopefully the next election will remove these short term thinkers out of power.

The minimal costs to maintain them will be well within the budget of today's power rates. There is a also reasonable chance a standard priced home will have a solar tile roof by default. Materials aren't the major cost, it's location and personnel. Los Angeles where I grew up the median cost of a home is 1M and selling your home for 1.2M by upgrading the roof to solar tiles is something Californian's absolutely would do.

Quantifying metrics to charge electric vehicles, and the costs of it should be made available to everyone just like gasoline. Prices at the gas stations are posted and miles per gallon are listed in the vehicles information.

KZreadr Duke of Manville newest video figured out his EV cost 2X as much to fill compared to a gas powered "I was shocked to learn that charging my electric car costs 2x as much at a Tesla Supercharger, and a new GM Energy public charging as it would have if I filled it with gas. High electric vehicle charging prices will hurt EV adoption if it is cheaper to fill up with gas than to charge up electricity at a public charger."

So between $69.44 - $96.32? (13:38) Wow! I had no idea charging a Hummer EV would be that expensive! It's definitely a good reminder to be mindful of the cost of our energy usage.

How much does it cost to fill up a Hummer? Hummer H2 has a fuel capacity of 32 gallons. Gasoline at my local station today was $2.68. 2.68×32 is $85.76 for 1 tank of gas. Of course you will be filling of rather often since the fuel economy is about 9-10 miles per gallon.Dec 24, 2019

High price to charge, and don't forget you have a high payment on the vehicle as well. Even if you pay cash in full for the vehicle , it will take years to break even with the gas version. The gas version would be more efficient on the environment and your wallet. Then you have an explosive, unstable vehicle in your garage. O don't forget high insurance rates, if you can get the insurance in the coming years.

Gonna run into some real issues in areas like DC, NYC, etc where communtes are 1.5 hours each way assuming no traffic events. I lived in Fredericksburg, VA and spent upwards of 4 hours on a one way commute from DC on many occassions due to traffic. I think EVs are going to have issues in those environments. When you get to the under ground parking for instance in DC your vehicle is not going to be able to be charged when they literally stack the vehicle 3 deep. There are going to be many many problems that are going to leave people stranded at a much higher rate than gas.

They made the cheap charging times unreasonable for superchargers in California. Off peak ends at 8am and doesn't start till 12am. It used to be 10am ended off peak and 10pm started off peak.

Charging this at my house is $0.09 per kWh, that's $18 to fill it from 0-100%. The gas tank on the Hummer H2 is 32 gallons, and gas here is around $3.25 right now, so filling that tank would be $104. Charging the Hummer EV away from home, even at $0.40 per kWh at a fast charger is a bit cheaper than the gasoline version, the biggest problem is time, nobody wants to sit for 2 hours to charge away from home, even 1 hour is too much.

A plug in hybrid is the only way to go. Plug it in at home and use electric to go to work and the grocery store. Use gas when going on trips. Or they need to start figuring out hydrogen and put those into gas stations everywhere. That would solve all the problems.

At the current price of gas. I can fill up my 2011 Chevy Silverado with 2 tanks of gas for about $ 140 bucks and I don’t have to sit and wait for hours to refill it or worry about finding a place to refuel it . And I can also bring extra gas in cans for going off road . In my opinion the EVs available now are like toys . I guess they are great if you only use them in town .

The range from that 60% would be that good. Wishful thinking.

they look very appealing right now, but they haven't started adding in tax, not to mention as more people buy ev's the demand for electric will go up along with the cost

On top of that states will need to find new ways to fund road repairs. Look for much higher registration fees and/or an EV road tax in the coming years.

I really appreciate your honest real world evaluation. Most people have absolutely no idea what they are in for. 😃👍

I didn't even bother to watch the click baiting video and just did a google search of, "how much to fully charge Hummer EV" that took two seconds to do. It seems at some fast charging stations like, Electrify America, it does cost about 100 bucks, but at some other charging stations that charge by the minute, it would only cost $50 or $37 depending on a person's plan. If you charge at home, it only costs $16 -$30 to fully charge. So this is why people need to actually fact check BS videos like this.

there is a fire. which do you pick? thr ev or gas? I'm choosing the one where I'm not Bruning while charging

$0.43 kWh works out to a bit over $5 a gallon for a comparable vehicle. It's going to suck for people that can't charge at home. It's practically free if you have rooftop solar though.

I heard it takes 3 days to charge one of these. 😂 The vehicle is a rolling meme.

In Ontario Electrify Canada can’t charge by kWh (due to a law that states only the hydro company can charge by kwh) So we are charged by time which is around $20 /hr.

So, if a charge takes 2.5 hours, then that would be $50.00. Wow, not so cheap is that.

It's not the cost of juice. It's the interest cost of car payments on a very expensive vehicle. Add sky high car insurance and registration fees.

Imagine this trend continuing where all trucks had a bloated 120-360 kWh of battery capacity. It would take 1000 years of global mining production to replace maybe 1/5th of all fossil trucks just to make the range feel practical. I agree with Kyle that this is GM's Halo car for their Ultium battery architecture. I really don't get why it had to be pure BEM, efficient fuel generators as range extenders are already hitting 39-42% efficiency for petrol AND non petrol fuels (opposed piston and free-piston) and that's with zero waste heat recovery.

Well I live in California PG&E’s lowest rate is $0.2949 per kWh going up to $0.38 so the 200 kWh is $59.95 to $78 to fill up and the 350 is $103.25 and they have 3 Tier’s here if you use up to much electric it puts you in the higher Tier which would be the $133 to top it off if you’re just using 100 kWh a night just on week days and not charging on weekends you will be charging about $760 a month extra. This $20 a month extra sounds great but sooner or later you’re going to have to pay the bill the electric company and the government are not going to give you free electric for ever. I was helping a friend a few years ago and did a couple of hours of arc welding on his truck he rolled the truck and crushed the cab we got another cab cut the top of and swapped the roof the welding for the 2 back sections and the 2 front post the electric cost me around $350 for the extra electric for the welding and you think easing that same amount every week or every day is only $20 wait till you get the bill when your bill jumps to a $1,000 or more and after a couple of years of quick changing wreckers your batteries and you have to replace the battery pack after a couple of years and the grid doesn’t have the power to charge anything then what?????

Thank you for breaking that down. I have been trying to tell people this. I live in San Francisco and Uber driver was telling me it cost $35.00 to charge his vehicle for 250-mile range during peak hours. Does that sound worth it to you. I used to be able to fill my tank (before the gas prices started to go up in February of 2021) for about that and could go much further than 250 miles.

Great insights, gives me a idea of the cost.

It currently cost 90 dollars to fill my 2019 Suburban from empty to full with a 31gallon tank. And i can get 500-650 miles on that based on wether my driving. Freeway driving only ive got up to 650miles. And Electricity will only get more and more expensive as the demand rises
