A UK-centric Electric Vehicles community, where discussion/news of the wider European continent is welcome.

All discussion of EVs (and hybrids for the moment), charging networks, etc, welcome!

No USA/Americas news unless it is relevant to the UK/Europe - most of the existing EV communities on Lemmy are awash with US discussion, please use one of those. US news and discussion will be removed.

The main "global" EV community is !electricvehicles@slrpnk.net

An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

Not mention of the near 10x price difference in cost per mile?

Assume 3 miles per kWh

kWh = 7.5p night rate (Octopus EV night rate)

EV Cost per mile = 7.5p/3 = 2.5p per mile

Assume 30 mpg

Assume £1.50 per litre

There is 4.54609 litres per gallon.

So 4.54609 * £1.50 = £6.82 per gallon.

ICE Cost per mile = 682p/30 = 23p per mile
