Electric vehicles are very energy efficient

[Integrity_Farmer]

Electric car Energy requirement is about 3.3 cents per mile when electricity
costs 10 cents per kWh

Meanwhile a gasoline vehicle with an energy efficiency of
22 miles per gallon costs about 15.9 cents per mile when gasoline costs $3.50 per gallon

Some electric vehicles, such as the EV1 from General Motors, had energy efficiencies of over 6 miles per kWh under some testing. So the energy cost would be about 1.7 cents per mile for this vehicle.

Much more at .42 cents per kwh.

What car of size equivalent to an electric one, gets only 22 mpg? I mean really?

Google road tax added to EV cost, Gov's getting their share because that ridiculously CHEAP per mile is NOT contributing to roads. EV weigh more, wear on roads is greater than gas powered. Enjoy now soon be equal costs.

So in reality a Honda Civic that gets 36 mpg ave at $3.50 is around .09 / mile
While the EV car at .42/ kWh is .12 / mile

When using real comparison numbers .

$3.50 a gallon has over $1.50 tax in it and more if you include indirect taxes

And lots of folks get better than 36.

What is the going rate for road tax on EV electricity?

[Integrity_Farmer]

According to gas buddy the price of car gas in Saskatoon and Regina ranges from $4.65 to $4.90 a gallon.

Electricity rates in Manitoba are about 8.6 cents per kWh and 15 cents per kWh in Sask

The ability to do math helps. Why deal in hyperbole?

Who on this form pays 42 cents per kwh for electricity .

How many farmers on this form drive a Honda Civic?

I don't tolerate bullshit to well where did you get the price of .42 cents per kwh

[TSIPP]

If you don’t tolerate bullshit, you should quit posting bullshit!

To those of you that preach wind solar and electric vehicles. go off the grid and use a electric vehicle for a year or two then come back on here and tell us how enjoying that year was. Until then don’t make our lives miserable listening to this bull$hit.

Peddle cars are even more efficient, as long as you don’t fart because methane is ten times as damaging as CO2 to the climate. 🥴
