First wave of EVs?

July 29th 2010 13:56

Looks cool, doesn't it?

Know what it is?

It's The Chevy Volt

Chevy Volt will cost $41,000

The price of two hybrids rolled into one.

the average gasoline price in the U.S. now at $2.75 and average fuel efficiency for new passenger cars at 32 miles per gallon, it costs 8.4 cents per mile to drive on gasoline

But there's a bright future ahead so those getting in on te first wave could find if they'd only waited they could have done better. There'll be government incentives, new technology and all sorts of things.

Battery-electric vehicles, such as the Leaf, cost less to operate. The 24 kilowatt-hour battery of the Leaf can take it about 100 miles. Using that as a crude approximation of economy, that's 2.8 cents per mile if you use the average U.S. retail electricity rate of 11.7 cents per kilowatt-hour.

info from CNet

Something to think about isn't it?

Really now, they make ones that are supposed to be good for the environment - then they limit them to the few who has the big bucks. I'll have to agree though, it looks cool!

Well, there's this thing called forex buddy...sorta burying my nose into it lately, trying to sniff all the currencies in the world to my side. Maybe I'll be able to afford that Volt of yours when that happens.

Nope, I suppose I can't. But all I need is a little slice of the pie. No intention of taking the throne from either George Soros or that Mexican guy who beat Bill Gates at the top of the heap.
